    I use Windows 10, MacOS, and Linux. Use the right tool for the job is whatI always say. Linux is the right tool most of the time, just not all of the time.

      I finally broke off my dependency from Windows last year. Still have the Mac for music, but not having to deal with a single Windows update or bug for six months has been such an improvement.

      I’ve always said that with Linux, it’s a buggy, under-development experience, but the mistakes are honest. When one of the biggest companies in the world can’t stop from putting out one broken update after another, all for the sake of short-term profit, I had to just call it quits completely.

        Yeah, I can handle incompetence. It’s the malicious exploitation that was getting to me. I don’t feel that any more with Linux. Give it time, I guess.

      Same. And in most use case scenarios MacOS is practically Linux, but with commercial app support. And on AppleSilicon with insane performance/battery life.

        Yeah, I use my M3 Mac only for music production and when traveling. Music software/hardware support on Mac is a given, and the battery life is just insane.

        There’s also a Linux distro for Apple silicon, m1-m3 chips for now.

        Didn’t test it myself yet but is on the to do list.

          Yes, Asahi Linux. I haven’t tried it either, but I saw a fresh video about it a week ago and it seems it’s approaching usable state. For now, some apps crash, GPU stuff has artifacts.

            Adobe Suite gotta run on Linux, that’s the day I’ll ditch every proprietary os.

            Or if I don’t ever need it again :)
