Thank you! I know all these things. This still doesn't help when the DAW support and VST compatibility aren't there.
If you're intent on doing music production on Linux, at least do yourself a favor and get a Reaper license, there are few enough pro DAWs that are Linux native. But be aware that many of the big industry VSTs are still not going to work. If you're fine sticking to e.g. ZynAddSubFX or Pianoteq, though, knock yourself out.
But you can't reasonably expect musicians to jump those hoops and abandon their fav VSTs when their Windows tooling is there, and works.
Am not expecting anything. Am just wondering how people in the industry are fairing with recent changes.
