Unfortunately the only music software I’m somewhat productive at runs only on Windows or Mac, and I really can’t afford Apple’s hardware prices. So it’s either using WIndows, or being very limited at a very dear creative outlet.

WINE/Proton.

I know, but DAWs are notoriously difficult to run and there are problems with most plugins.

Thats a fair point, DAWs are nightmares.
Hrm. I would offer a linux alternative, but I also know how people learn a DAW like an instrument and changing to a new would actually be quite an undertaking, and yeah, lots of various effects and such that… really only work that one specific way on your specific setup.

I know, it’s rare to find someone who isn’t eager to be ripped off.

Yep, me with my years of working for MSFT, playing their games, configuring their software and using it at large businesses… and then realizing its all fucking garbage from first hand experience, and then replacing it all with open sourcr shit both at home and at work…
Yep, I really am sound like live under rock.

Nobody care about your credentials though, your “people still use microsoft product” comment is the one that sounds like you’re living under a rock.
