My non Linux savvy spouse is currently dual booting Linux Mint because Windows has become so frustrating to use.
Mint isn't perfect. We've run into a few bugs and shortcomings. But there's a big difference between dealing with genuine issues in an OS and using one that feels actively hostile and designed to exploit the user.
If both experiences can be frustrating, why choose the one that's frustrating by design (unless you absolutely have to) ?
I've used Linux for a decade now and windows is so much more buggy and shortcoming. Including new bugs.
Most of my music software doesn't function correctly on Linux :(
You probably know this already, but Reaper is fully Linux compatible, it's not FL, so you'll have to adapt, but it is great
I'll have to adapt and buy $1,000 in third party VSTs to not have as good of a mixing/mastering solution as what's built into FL :(
I seriously doubt that, maybe run your setup past the forum and ask?
