[ubuntu-studio-users] [ubuntu-studio-devel] youtube firefox and jack

[0thermail at protonmail.com]

Thank you for your quick response and apologies for sending to the wrong list.

Ubuntu studio controls is fantastic, thanks for the tip.  have been wanting to make the move to linux / ubuntu studio for a while but have never found jack quite as straight as i feel like it could be. This has definitely taken me one step closer. Huge thank you to everyone who made it happen
