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.

I'm coming from Ableton Live, which I've used for a very long time and got used to, Bitwig turned out to be similar (I think I've seen that company was created with people from Ableton), so it works for me. But it's better to try everything first of course.
I've used FL studio via wine on several machines and it always ran better than any windows machine.
With the major wine 8 overhaul it's even better.
No problem with vsts.
There are several distros specific for AV needs with Jack etc already set up.

Dual booting is simple on Linux.
(Make yourself a dedicated /home partition to save yourself time when distro hopping)
Yeah I never could figure out Ableton either lol
