I think I'm going to need more coffee to process this. Did I wake up in opposite land? Microsoft actually genuinely have a tutorial up on how to install Linux.
Non-emulated AutoCAD and Ableton with full VST support are two big ones. Last I checked there were still ASIO driver issues with my audio interface (Scarlett 18i8), too.
I know things have come a long way since I last mained Ubuntu but I’m not interested in jumping through hoops to get it going even if it’s “possible” when they work natively without issue on Windows.
I’ve said this before but I believe windows will merge Linux into it before too long. It’s starting with WSL. It’ll be hybrid OS eventually
I know some people like it, but I’ll die on the hill that WSL sucks compared to the real thing.
I want to like, because well I want to have an OS that just works on my work computer, but at least my experience has been less then optimal.
50% Windows, 50% Linux, 100% garbage!
If that first 50% runs my applications flawlessly, I’m all for it. I do not want to dual boot and Linux doesn’t meet my needs yet.
50% Linux means developers are more likely to create Linux applications which is a step closer to 100% Linux
What are your needs?

Not going to happen. Money is good, but we are too addicted to freedom already.
Even if it happened for whatever reason, that’d make most users fall back to “vanilla” versions of Linux.
