      Linux Mint 20.1 Had dual monitor support out of the box. Double check your settings if you're using a recent distro. Mine ran fine as a static monitor (it was actually a graphics table but the digital pen function was permanently offset). Zorin OS 16 pro worked for graphics tablet.

      Audacity _is_ FOSS, though if you really need something else I guess there's Tenacity which is a fork. It's early days for it though. Haven't tried it myself

      @@dontmindme8709 audacity is no longer FOSS, as the project was purchased by a company which then closed the source of the code and introduced an end user license agreement (that kids under 13 could not legally sign thereby making it a violation of the gpl V2 license). There are multiple forks but none of them have done anything different besides maybe change the name

      @@crazychicken0378 Yeah I guess it takes time for the forks to actually go anywhere. Also, the developments in the situation regarding Audacity aren't over, so it will be difficult to say what will happen and what will become of the forks. Where did you get the idea that Audacity now is closed source? The company that bought Audacity only bought the rights to the brand, not the source code. They wouldn't be able to do that because of the GPL.
      The drama stems from their proposed privacy policy, which I don't know what they've settled on. At least the part about about children being advised not to use the program seems to be gone. It's been poorly dealt with, but I think it's too early to speculate too much.
