Final paragraph sums it best:
I'm quite interested in using Linux, but it won't run many, if any of the 100s of plugins I own, let alone my audio interface, or my production software.
At least, that's my assumption. I did a search and can see there's a decent DAW for Linux (the amusingly-named Cockos Reaper), it's affordable at $80. But I'd also need to buy a new audio interface, there's a few that have Linux drivers. An expensive experiment. My interest is because it'd be amazing to have a stable system to play music live, with no weird Microsoft shit happening in the background guaranteed.
Reaper is awesome. It's pro tools for non-millionaires.
Reaper is awesome indeed. But the DAW isn't the issue, it's the VST, very few work on Linux
it's wild to me how many people I see saying this. I assumed I was one of like... 3
