I'm curious as to what everyone's reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I'd say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    I've used Linux and simply had no use for it. My DAW of choice is Ableton Live and there's no Linux version. I tried running it through windows emulators but that was just finicky. The only big name DAW I know about that has a Linux version is Reaper, which is fine, but I'm not that great with Reaper and the stock fx aren't great. I don't know of any free software style DAWs for Linux that would work with vsts and ASIO.

    I did use Ubuntu on a Chromebook for a long time when I was trying to learn more coding, but then I figured out I don't enjoy coding. That's probably my main reason for disliking Linux. I don't wanna mess around in the guts of code, it's tedious and uninteresting to me. I just want it to work already.
