NoiseTorch is another tool to remove background noise while recording on Linux

Quoting: scaineI was a bit gutted that the 0.2 version of Cadmus seems to break entirely on Mint, so while I wait for the developer to look into that (quite a few folk have reported it), I might give this one a try! I say might, because while I like the look of NoiseTorch and appreciate that it actually has a GUI (Cadmus is just an indicator-applet), Cadmus is a deb/flatpack install, but NoiseTorch is a script, which looks a bit messier. And I'm pretty lazy, so there's that... :smile:
Don't think that compares.

Cadmus uses the existing noise suppressor (werman/noise-suppression-for-voice) for pulse and "just" adds a nice UI option (as said indicator-applet) to it to load the sink. Last time I checked the script itself was ~100 lines shy.

NoiseTorch is a whole application that _also_ uses the existing noise suppressor (werman/noise-suppression-for-voice). Check the vendor folder what this all drags in.

In both cases ada goes to the pulse plugin https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice [External Link] which in return is based on Xiph's RNNoise suppression library ( https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise [External Link] ) and basically all you'd need to do is add 4 lines to your pulse/default.pa to setup and configure the denoised sink.

The only reason why your mileage may vary with NoiseTorch (also in quality!) is that it pinned a specific version of werman/noise-suppression-for-voice that is probably different to the one shipped with the Cadmus appimage/deb or is/was already installed on your system.

So in my personal opinion NoiseTorch _is_ that hammer but you may decide that for yourself, of course :)

Google's UI toolkit Flutter comes to the Linux desktop with help from Canonical

I'm bewildered. Using a Flutter cross compiled app for months now. It just sucks because it looks and feels like a mobilephone app but hey it's better than trying to run it _on_ my mobile phone.

I mean… my i5-8600K has at least the power to run it smooth :woot:

As a sword enthusiast I'm already on the fence (heh :p) with this.

May it spark joy for others.

I'll pass - my swords might get jealous ;-)

Nice. Spec Ops: The Line is imho very underrated. It still launches last time I checked. It's a little bit tricky about window mode and main display but otherwise fine.
