I personally moved my studio over to Linux almost 2 years ago now, and have more and more requests from pro studios and producers to move them over. Plenty of plugin options (natively and with wrappers), Pipewire being superior for audio routing (even over CoreAudio) and drivers sometimes outclassing the win/Mac options (RME is plug and play, while the driver install on Mac is still a multi part process....)

@TheOnlyJoey@mastodon.online @xenogon@sunny.garden @bloognoo@retro.pizza @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com @ercanbrack@mastodon.online It will not take much longer before most people could handle their professional music workflows on Linux. For me, that is already true today. Hardware support is, of course, a separate challenge. But even there, I am optimistic that we will see a lot of positive progress. Linux is also becoming increasingly relevant in other areas (which helps the pro audio segment as well), such as gaming, digital sovereignty, privacy, etc.
