A bit off topic, but since you mentioned music production software I just wanted to quickly say I was surprised by how much easier it is to set up compared to Windows. Since Pipewire became a thing, it's really dead simple. No need to mess around with ASIO, virtual cables, applications using an exclusive lock on interfaces, etc. Ardour and REAPER are solid pieces of free (half-free for REAPER) software, and the commercial Bitwig (made by ex-Ableton staff) also has a native Linux build which works great.

Thatโ€™s awesome to hear actually, Iโ€™m not as familiar with music production stuff and donโ€™t have any personal experience with it on Linux, itโ€™s just something Iโ€™d heard was an obstacle before

Itโ€™s crazy to me how much better and more viable Linux as a whole has been getting over the past several years
