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.

The world of music production is dominated by Apple with Windows running a distant second. Thanks to DAWs like Reaper and open source plung-ins constantly being developed, music production on Linux doesn't seem like such a crazy idea anymore.

I saw that Ableton Live 12 is going to support my old 2015 MBP, which is nice, but it would be so much nicer if we had a Wine/Proton equivalent project for Mac apps. M2 MBPs are nice but it'd be nicer if I could use PC hardware with Linux running Windows and Mac software. Native would be nicest but, baby steps.
