what app? chances are there’s a linux equivalent that’s way better, more powerful, and harder to learn….
for me it’s DAWs… bigwig studio runs on linux and is pretty nice, but i just want ableton
Yeah, DAWs are definitely one of those niche things that keep people using Windows. I’m an Ableton user as well, and it’s one of a few Windows apps that I struggle to replace.
My wife teaches post-secondary, and stays on Windows because all of the commercial CAD software is for Windows. (AutoCad, Sketchup, Pro Tools, etc.)
Fuck yeah! It is very good. Just needs a wee bit more app support and I’d already be 100%.
If you switch they will come

Academics can get Siemens NX CAD licenses at a very low nominal fee. Version 12 or lower runs on REL, SUSE but also will run on OpenSUSE.
Newer NX versions dropped GUI support for Linux, just headless cad for batching work.
Maybe they will bring it back once the X and Wayland transition is complete.
Which app?
Dirac Live. I have a PC license and while I have found DSP alternatives, they are very difficult to get to work, and the results are never as good.
I’m waiting until I upgrade my AVR and will run Dirac off that unit directly, then it’s off to Linux Land Purity.
