A little script to simplify installing Bitwig Studio in user-space on Fedora KDE.
Officially, Bitwig Studio for Linux is only available in .deb
and .flatpak
formats. The .deb
installer is aimed at Ubuntu/Debian users. The .flatpak
version, while globally adaptable, has its drawbacks (for example, it doesn't support plugins installed via yabridge). There's no official .rpm
build for Fedora.
install_assets.sh
installs the main script, a custom Bitwig Studio icon, and adds two new commands to KDE context menu for*.flatpak
filesuninstall_assets.sh
