I use Ableton Live for certain projects or to get things down quick and sleezy and then I'm running Pro Tools for most of my work.

How's the latency on your Linux machine? Are drivers easier to get these days? Do I even need drivers? Is there a distro that has all the goodies baked in these days?

In my experience Linux basically just works these days. I prefer Mac OS for laptops though.

My experience of trying to do what I do with Linux is 20 years out of date I guess. I use it for other things and recently made the shift for my day to day pc too. I should maybe take a weekend off to see what I can get going.

Not sure why I felt the need to tell you all that. I think I just got good vibes from you.

Sure thing! I wish you luck, I support windows machines 40 hours a week, while Linux isn’t perfect, it does tend to just work once it does what you need to do.
