That is a question with multiple answers. Ultimately, there is enough amazing open source software out there to enable anyone to make amazing music. So instead of focusing on negatives I’ll answer with what I like about the Mac experience.

I love the Native Instruments harware/software ecosystem (Maschine, Kontrol, etc) but unfortunately they do not support Linux.

Apple silicone is an absolute beast. My M3 Max can handle basically anything I throw at it without stutter.

A lot of plugins (VST) will work on Linux through compatibility layers but never as well as native.

All that said, Bitwig, Renoise and Reaper all have Linux native versions.

I rarely boot my Windows system anymore. The use experience on Pop!_OS is almost perfect for me. Between it and my Macbook for music production, I am covered.

Can I get Thunderbolt Björk with the Death Grips powerup?

That’s a hell of a writing prompt. I can think of a few stories that can start or end with that image.

Please don’t let them see me
Sure there’s nothing left to try
I can feel the light shine on my face
Did I disappoint you?
Will they still let me over

Nice. Have you moved to 3 yet? I haven’t used GIMP since the upgrade.

Cool. How did you create the comic print texture?

Me, approaching her with a Linux ISO:

Was their shopper Princess Peach?

I’m in!

Destroyed you say? What assurance is offered of complete analhilation?

Just throw some “water enhancer” flavoring in when mixing your X-Lube/K-Lube. There are many brands and many flavors, from organic to straight-up 100% chemical.

EDIT: I do not recommend throwing stuff like agave or sugar into the mix. Sticky fun but a nightmare to clean up.

NGL, you’d have me at “sup”. Acknowledging my existence is big turn on for me.
