Amen to all that JOM.

On a plus side for Linux, the people do tend to do a pretty good job getting non-Linux stuff to run OK on Linux, but BIAB doesn't just plug in and go. At present, though, BIAB on Linux is not a painless journey.

IIRC, it took the Reaper guys a few years to get Reaper running natively on Linux, though it ran pretty well for a long time prior to that in Wine on Linux.

FWIW, I use AVLinux, which for a very long time has been probably the best AV-oriented Linux out there. Whether it's still "the best" I know not. UbuntuStudio has been around a few years, so may have leapfrogged.
