    mint user here. rocksolid distro, maybe not bleeding edge but very good as a daily driver; also for music production. reasonably customizable desktop with cinnamon.

    only caveat: some vst plugins do not work well with wine when it comes to their copy protection (#izotope and #ssl among them), others do (such as #kilohearts)

      Thanks for the feedback! I was shocked to see them still floating around. Just installed a latest stable distro of Linux Mint on a friend’s older laptop and he’s thrilled to have his computer back and “bug-free” lol.

      I’m actually excited to make the switch - Windows seems to get worse and worse with every generation. Windows 8 and newer seems like I have to fear every major update because it might break something else with my software (like last year - my pop-up calendar in windows10 does not work anymore since they added the “news & interest” segment to the taskbar)
