At our repair cafe we only suggest Linux Mint. Sure if the person knows something about linux and want/needs a other distro we will help. But it helps us with support/writing manuals and for most people Linux Mint is fine.

I’m know my why around linux a bit, but for alot of other volunteers it also there first time touching Linux in anyway.

We don’t want to scare people away with 100+ options. Just simple, windows like and sane defaults.

Thunder is in the IzzyOnDroid repo you can add it in fdroid

I’m in the same boat as you and never found anything for Samsung tizen os. Smarttube is android based only and anything streamed to a Chromecast still has ads.

Edit: okay I thought let’s search one’s more. And there is tizentube did not try it yet but seems promising

I use ardour as DAW, but only for recording on Linux. It’s also available for macOS and windows. So you can check if it fits your work flow.

I mostly only use Linux, but sometimes you just need a program with out support. In my case it’s sometimes qlab, Linux show player is great(and I have used it for many shows). But it’s not feature compatibel with qlab
