Microsoft appears to be intentionally compromising its users who can't afford whatever "supported hardware" (lemmygrad.ml)

I actually didn't know that about Blender; but it's also been years since I've downloaded it-- but as that's not the main point of my creative process, it was a bad point anyway. A lot of it for me is that there are no good DAWs on Linux. None. Like... Your options are Audacity, which while barely being a DAW, it has no sequencing, and next to no VST support; or like... What was it called, Reaper? Something barely more advanced than like, Fruity Loops version 2? There's no good DAWs on linux, and FL Studio runs like ass on it. When that hurdle is surmounted, my tolerance for windows bullshit will probably plummet like a stone in water-- but we're nowhere near there yet.

LMMS was never mentioned to me by my producer homies on Linux; I'm actually amazed that one looks FL Studio adjacent and now I'm kinda side-eyeing my folks like 'the fuck, I know a couple of y'all run Mint in your downtime'; experimenting with that might actually give me a reason to stand up another Mint VM. Last I tried Ardour and Bitwig, though, they both felt somewhere between GarageBand and Ableton; and I just kinda bounced off 'em the same way I did Ableton.

It is heartening to see more VST support in the space though, that's one less thing to worry about when I finally do have good reason to permanently switch over. (I can't imagine losing my collection of plugins; like, it's been years. If I had to start over from pure square one collecting new plugins, it'd break me.)
