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.

It's a shame because honestly I found setting up a modern Linux distro for audio work is actually easier and more flexible than windows now, by a long shot. Pipewire is awesome, routing signals is so easy and latency is great with no third party drivers.
Unfortunately I don't think there's a good solution for plugins, as long as developers don't provide a Linux build we're mostly stuck with alternatives. LSP is pretty neat, but I understand that not being able to use the suites you're accustomed to sucks.
