I checked the link and it is a dead link, please edit the link along with providing your QSI for our other forum members to be able to help. I did find the info on the Studio One beta and it requires Wayland to be installed and used as the default Windowing system. MXLinux Can use Wayland but I do not think AVLinux was setup with Wayland by default and thus most of your issues are there. The next thing is most pro music apps seem to be made with Ubuntu in mind and while Ubuntu shares the same underlying Debian base system, it does provide custom versions of packages that can be bleeding edge or just plain not available in most Debian based distros. This said, you would need to either request package in this forum site and provide links to the source code for the Studio One Beta as well as links to the github site if any, for any additional requirements. Or move to Ubuntu Studio latest. So far I think we are at Deb 12? Ubuntu uses some sid packages or a custom version. My guess is the Studio ONE is aimed a Ubuntu Studio users running the latest version of Ubuntu base. I have also noticed there are no prices listed on the Presonus site nor a link I could find, for the free beta.. Good luck. I would like to see where this goes!

Hi,

The link posted above got truncated, here it is: https://www.presonussoftware.com/en_US/ ... -for-linux

The link says this:

Studio One is a Wayland application and won't run in an X11 session. Wayland is a display server protocol and successor of the X Window System. Third-party plug-ins need to be adjusted for displaying a custom GUI in Studio One under Wayland.

I don't know where to begin about how ridiculous this is, Wayland is only fully supported in a very small amount of Distros with certain Desktop Environments (it seems notably KDE), if you wanted to port a DAW to Linux and have it NOT work on most common stable Distribution platforms and Desktop Environments this is how you would go about it... On top of that your Audio Plugins GUI's won't work natively if they are written to use X11, they will have to run though some kind of IPlug rendering hackery to display on Wayland..

AV Linux is based on MX-23 and Debian 12 Bookworm Stable, and although it's Enlightenment Desktop Environment has initial experimental Wayland support I doubt it will work with Studio One even if you did manage to get it installed.. All of the featured DAWs that come in AV Linux are every bit as good as Studio One (if not better) but if you really want to use Studio One you'll have to use it on whatever Ubuntu version they are recommending, it will not run on AV Linux as it is currently a Xorg X11-based product.

This may be disappointing but Presonus has not done their homework about the realities of porting a DAW to the Linux platform as a whole..
