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.

To be honest, my Ableton Live works like a charm with wine. But a lot of other Windows-only software does not. It depends. I am just lucky all I need does.
It's the plugins that cause me grief. Especially any that use ilok or weird licensing software.
Wow interesting, never heard Live is running well. Which version do you use on which distribution?
Ableton Live 10. Runs just as smooth as on my old windows. Im on OpenSUSE TumbleweedOS
