It’s finally happening. Brings a tear to my eye.
I’ve been following the drama for years. This should’ve happened many years ago but for some reason Google was blocking it in favor of AVIF, which is worse in a number of ways.

The Flatpak version is still stuck on Audacity 3, it hasn’t been updated in months.
Nah. Even someone who has never used another editing app would realize the UX is terrible, and it’s harder to do basic things than it should be. There’s too much stuff on screen and the UI looks terrible.
Audacity isn’t a DAW, it’s an audio editor which makes it very different from Reaper.
Audacity isn’t a fully fledged DAW, it’s an audio editor that’s mostly for recording, making quick edits, or fixing up audio. I don’t think it’s really possible to use it in music production yet.
There were UI improvements
Barely. It’s the same old terrible UI and needs a complete overhaul.
When you start the app for the first time it asks if you want to enable anonymous telemetry, but otherwise I don’t think it sends anything.

Audacity 4.0 is finally out!
TL;DR this is a huge overhaul of the popular open-source audio editing app. The UI specifically has been the biggest overhaul, making it a lot more modern and friendly to use.
Hopefully, one day, GIMP will get some kind of update like this.
www.audacityteam.org/audacity-4/Every now and then Anbernic just throws a curveball and makes a weird device nobody really wants, this being one of them. I don’t really understand the choice to make it 16:9 considering the only 16:9 system it can run is the PSP, and it’s not strong enough for anything even resembling PS2 with widescreen hacks.
It’ll probably go on big sales like other Anbernic stuff soon enough, might find it even going down to $100 on AliExpress or something by the end of the year. But still, it’s just an awkward little device.
