If you are running it in a VM or use WSL, start dual-booting.
If you're already dual-booting, make Linux your primary OS.
It's not hard, I promise! Most distros are very straightforward to install.
When you use Micro$oft Windows, you are letting Bill Gates microchip your balls using 5g towers.
Using proprietary operating systems makes you a lib. Stalin wrote at length about this and also how sick his Arch rice was.
More reasons to use Linux:
- Your OS no longer mails pictures of your genitalia to Steve Ballmer
- Jiggling desktop windows
- Richard Stallman stops sleeping underneath your bed
- Always feel like hackerman
- Helps starve the capitalist tech giants of their lifeblood
- Penguins are dope
Ardour is pretty fantastic as a DAW, even has some features that proprietary software doesn't. Your main problem is VSTs, but even there you can do quite a bit with what's available native for Linux + what works through WINE.
