I have a couple thinkpads loaded with windows 11 pro, would it benefit me to switch them over to Linux? Would I be able to use all the essential programs (or equivalent programs) that I would need to cover all my bases?

Edit: I should probably include that I'm a complete noob as far as Linux goes. I have a decent handle on computers in the general but have never been close to being any sort of computer enthusiast. Basically, I understand what terminal is but have only used it with direct instruction.

You’ve got Linux Show Player (https://github.com/FrancescoCeruti/linux-show-player?tab=readme-ov-file) that will do audio cues in a familiar way, if you’re used to Qlab.

I’ve got Resolume Arena working through WINE. It does require some tweaking to get it to start, and the preview monitors are a little glitchy, but fullscreen output and ArtNet input works just fine.
