Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.

Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn’t work so I can’t upload and can’t be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.

I couldn’t get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don’t want to run S1 on this box.

But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.

I don’t use flatpak much but trying to do…

flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7

… failed with “Failed to connect to Wayland display”.

I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.

What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.

But it is really surprising development.

Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying “Studio One is a Wayland application and won’t run in X11 session.”
