Oh believe me... I would love to be working between linux and macOSX 
for the music production and cut Win out of the system entirely. 
However, I've yet to see anything far enough along under Linux to be 
usable as a platform for a DAW multi-track system. Sure, there is 
plenty of great open source linux software available for consumers for 
mild two-track editing and file-format encoding, but on the pro end 
everything is pretty much Win and MacOSX. If I'm missing something 
here, please let me know. Is there anything comparable to ProTools, 
Nuendo, Halion, Battery, etc. on the linux platform that is accurate 
and stable?
