djay software for Linux

[djweji74]

I would also like to know if Djay will be supported or run on Linux distributions. I’ll be following this thread

[Djdash]

Hi and welcome to the forum. I don’t think they will be doing that due to verious reasons that have been stated in the above. Besides drivers for all the different dj hardware are also an issue

Hey @djweji74 - Welcome to the Community. Thanks for your interest in djay!

We’ll pass your added interest in djay for Linux along to our dev team for continued consideration. Feel free to share any more suggestions you might have

Would love to see a version compatible with raspbian for the rpi 4. Mixxx is the current alternative, but doesn’t have as friendly of a UI as DJay

It would be cool to get DVS from algoriddim djay on linux! I think this would be a breakthrough! I’ve been using Linux a lot lately and it would be great to have a top-end DVS solution for working as a dj on this system!

Is there an any news from the development Team? It would be so cool to have Djay on a raspberry pi with a small display…

Hello everyone. I’ve changed this topic from a Question to a Suggestion so that everyone can cast their Vote for it at the top right. This helps the dev team to gauge user demand for this. Thanks!

Yeah, if we can get all the android people and windows people united under linux that would be awesome! Voted!

Would be really nice to have Linux support. Bitwig and Studio One already support it.

It’s a shame that it’s not yet available for Linux, a system that is gaining more and more followers every day, and if it’s not one of the largest communities, it’s somewhere else. But I don’t understand that decision.

Una pena que todavia no salga bajo Linux, sistema que dia a dia gana mas adeptos y si no es una de las mas grandes comunidades, anda x ahi. Pero de onda, no entiendo esa decision.

Hi @Ariel_Falaschi,

Thanks for sharing your inquiry.

Is there a specific distribution of Linux you’d like to see djay run on?

Ubuntu, Mint, etc.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to find out if you would consider developing an application compatible with Linux. Linux like Mac OS is an extremely stable operating system which is required when performing a live set. The last thing you want to happen is an update takes place whilst you are performing as can happen with windows. Is this something you will consider?

It would be a game changer to have a native running APP for Linux Gaming Handhelds.

Due to the market of gaming handhelds keeps on growing and the side effect, that Valve is going to open (collab with manufacturers) their distro to be able to run natively on third party devices, it would be a game changer, if djay Pro would develop a natively running APPs for the main gaming distros: *1)

• Fedora (BatoceraOS) >> Store: Flathub
• Arch (SteamOS 3) >> Store: Steam

From my point of view those handhelds combine the power of new generation CPUs and the convenience of an IPad to carry around for smaller gigs.

I understand Algoriddim as the most community driven and innovative DJ software out on the market, serving the most platforms/ devices/ hardware, so (to be the first) adding gaming handhelds would complete your product portfolio.

*1) Running in bottles/ virtual machines is a mess due to non support (passthru, performance, …)

Kind regards.

Hi @Cascedy, welcome to the community! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve merged your new topic with this existing one so we can keep things organized and count the cumulative user votes. Please cast your vote for this as well at the top left of the page so we can gauge user demand for this. Thanks!

[Cascedy]

Could you also please merge this into the topic (“keep things organized and count comulative user votes”): It's a shame it's not for Linux? - y en Linux? para cuando?

@Cascedy, I already merged it above.

Hi there and thanks for giving this some consideration as I know getting drivers to work successfully for different controllers will be difficult however, I think the more popular distributions like Ubuntu to and deen based operating systems would probably be the way to go

[Cascedy]

That’s why I kept those requirements separted first. DJay software for linux (generelly) versus DJay software for gaming handhelds (running kind of linux). I came up with the handheld devices for a reason. And now they’re mixing topics in here with all these linux distros out there.

[Slak_Jaw]

Well you can’t have one without the other, so I think it still makes sense to have them grouped together for now. We can always adjust this in the future if necessary…
