Yes, I know loading VSTs are possible, I just need to figure out how.

Dualbooting with separate harddrives will probably be my solution.
Never heard of Photopea! I will check it out. GIMP sucks at text boxes for some reason, and honestly is kind of unacceptable the way it handles it.
This is solid. I am so happy for this advice, never heard of Yabridge. I am willing to mess around if it actually means I can use my plugins with Linux!
Delisting should be a crime.
Nope, I am starting to see software like books. Maybe the author has more to say, but barring any grammatical or logical errors, they are basically evergreen.
I will try syncthing. I don't actually want cloud storage, I just want to be able to mirror files to my different computers for easy access without messing about using flashdrives or bluetooth.
I will check it out! I do enjoy the redundancy of local copies, which is why OneDrive sucked.
Yes. The cost is reasonable, and think it is worth it!
Right now I am using Tracktion Waveform, but I do not love it.
I am looking at Reaper, and I do like the workflow, but the way it loads plugins puts me off. Not horrible, I just need to do extra work to make it work.
That is what I am starting to realize. Every paid program that I used to desire is now subscription based.
Also, I am coming to terms with how truly powerful FOSS programs are. People seem to pay for the workflow, the user interface, more than the capabilities. At least I feel that way with DAWs. Ardour does everything. Vital makes every sound. I can be happy with that. I need to focus on making music.
I get that. I mean, WINE has gone a long way, but it is not perfect. I think I need to buy an SSD just for Windows, and that would be ideal.
I think I started using Linux way before that. I think I was just curious about whether I was missing anything. I really am not!
Yeah, there is a pervasive "wrongness" to it that I just could not stand, like I took off my front door or something.
