A while back, most of the Linux distributions hit the level of maturity that most stuff "just works". I'm at the point where if there's a deal breaker (configuring WINE, getting audio to work), I'll just find a different one that works rather than bang my head against the wall trying to get it working.

Many Linux distributions have live CDs, so you can test things out against your hardware before committing. There are a number of distributions especially configured for audio, for example.

But I've found it's much easier to do audio in Windows, and that's pretty much what I use Windows for.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
