Well I clearly have a lot to learn when I make a move to Linux.
First I thought I read, linux distroys, instead of linux distros, because I don't see that well anymore.
And when you said Reaper runs pretty good under wine, I thought how well Cubase ran on my Atari ST under Jack Daniels in the the late 80s.

All kidding aside, I got a virus over a year ago that would keep popping up at odd times for over a month. Then I plugged one of my USB thumb drives into my wife's PC, which has PCTools Spyware/Antivirus and a big RED warning box popped up. Somehow it had gotten onto this one Thumbdrive. Over time I had passed it around to 4 hard drives. It wasn't a bad one, but what a deal. I went through all my external Drives and my 2 Thumb drives and made sure they were all clean.

This thumb drive was brought to my wife's work to tranfer Video of some babies to a parent. She works Daycare in an infant room. The parent took it home to copy the files, because they were too large to Email and the drive got infected. Never happenned before or again. When I get hit with something I know right away and it usually takes out my system. I never seem to be infected and still running. I'm fanatical about this. A daily scan on every PC. I went over to this persons house and looked at their PC and ran a scan. It found over 800 infections.

It's amazed me that they were up and running. After I cleaned their PC I removed our Email from their address book and told them if they had to Email us, type it in. Use a post it note to remember. The guy was insulted. I block them at our server using a filter. So one more Christmas card I won't be getting. lol
