From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

Still trying to sort that out lol. I can only recommend definitely not anything from Izotope. Surge XT is a synth that seems to work well though, and graillion works for autotune are a couple I use off the top of my head. I'm not very skilled though, so take the above with a grain of salt.

I use Izotope with Reaper just fine. To get the UI working you need Wine 9.21 or earlier.
