My first foray into Linux was something like twenty years ago, I ran Linux Mint briefly and happily, but I screwed something up trying to get flash videos to have sound and kind of gave up and went back to windows.

Flash forward, I got my desktop and my husband’s laptop set up with Mint now, and I can’t believe how easy it was. Everything has been working excellently, and the laptop is getting more attention than its had in years. The software manager is amazing, I got set up with steam and my daw (reaper) in no time. So far I haven’t run into anything I’ve tried to do that I couldn’t do with minimal elbow grease.

Thanks for being so passionate about Linux gang, I don’t know that I would have converted nearly so quickly if I wasn’t exposed to it here. Y’all are cool as hell.

    I run Linux on my regular systems with an occasional dabble in reaper on it.

    On the flip side, I run ableton on Mac for a couple of touring projects and could never move off of it.

    Reaper is a fantastic tool, I’ve had a license for years and really respect what they’re doing. But if you’re doing anything besides home production for fun, it’s just not there yet.
