All software has a learning curve usually proportional to its capabilities and unique features. Pointing with a mouse is in no way easier than tapping a key.
I just ordered a computer with dual intel Xeon E5-2683v4 16 core CPUs (32 cores) and 256GB DDR4 EEC RAM, 1.92TB SSD and a really nice NVidia 4GB GDDR5 video card with 4 output ports.
That should run Ubuntu rather well!

Actually, I got a smoking fast wifi card.
So I can check my email really fast!

Sometimes progress is like canoeing through wet cement.

New development version. Just source code and example txt files.
Plus instructions for building from source in MacOS and Windows.
This has all the newest features in a version that has no multithreaded code.
I haven't done anything with the txt examples or the doc files. When I get all that updated, I'm going to do an official full public release.
The settings menus are all now in a new [Tab] menu sub system. So from just about any place in the LB menus, you can change settings with [Tab] {category} {setting}.
This version can read 3 channel waves like those made in OsciStudio.
Feedback much apriciated.

Cool. I'll give it a spin pretty soon.
How's your new toy?

It's pretty neat.
Not exactly what I expected though. It turns out that on this dual CPU mobo each CPU has its own 128GB RAM. I'm not sure how that works but I guess I'll figure it out.
It's super quite which is nice but it puts out a steady amount of heat.
The single thread speed is really not much faster than my previous 8 core AMD system.
But if I run make with the argument -j32, this tells make to run in as many as 32 cores.
What takes about 2 min 40 sec to build LB in a single core can be done in about 34 seconds.
What's really impressive is the video card. WOW. This thing can decode and render streaming video of any size to a 4K screen at full speed with no artifacts at all.
I imagine video editing on this system will be wonderful.

(Last one! Who's going to get it?)
This thing takes forever to POST and get through the BIOS. I guess it has a lot to test, like 2 CPUs with 16 cores each and 2 banks of 128GB ram.

I guess the video card has 8GB. I thought it was a measly 4GB.
