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 kind of feel like you just ignored everything I wrote.
Yeah, you’re 100% correct. There’s also the issue of collaboration: it’s common to be given a Pro Tools or Photoshop file to continue work on.
Not to mention live show visual projection, where there isn’t anything in Linux even approaching the functionality of Resolume.
Linux is fantastic, but unfortunately most of us in this situation will need to keep a dual boot or another machine.
