Sadly, just software compatibility - doing music with specific programs needed for assignments etc - If drivers and compatibility weren't an issue, I never would have switched. :) I will consider using Linux again full time if my current machine ever gives up though, now that gaming has advanced so much further. :)

Ive heard this a few times. Hardware and software for music production is lacking in linux. Games support is very good now though

what software? I do a little bit of music myself, but just as a hobby... and FL studio runs great with wine

I was taught using Ableton Live, and Max MSP mainly - this was back in 2014 or so, they might be wine-able now but I've not tested in years! :) There's Bitwig now, which is very similar, but I had to submit Ableton Live projects and Max Patches to show my workflow.

I'm back to hobby musicking, and I sometimes think about putting together a Ubuntu Studio build again - ardour was cool, and I enjoyed LMMS for sequencing :)

In fact, I need to get off my backside and make more music in general! It's amazing how fast life can take over, I miss it! :/
