The plugins would almost certainly work in a VM, but I imagine that latency would become a big headache. For my purposes, I picked up a Beelink mini pc and called it a day.

So in terms of DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), Linux already has Bitwig, Reaper, Arour, LMMS, and possibly others. Personally, I find the bigger issue comes from plugin developers (the DAW is your main program, and you add your sounds/effects through plugins). Most companies are not delivering anything Linux native. Many of these plugins can be bridged with compatibility software, and will work fine that way. However, most of these plugins now are also using their own install/activation software center, and they are often a nightmare in Linux.

Music production is the one thing I currently keep a windows mini PC around for these days. It's not impossible to make the transition to Linux, but the last thing I want when pursuing a creative endeavor is technical software challenges holding me up.

You can say that speaks volumes about the character of the author (though you are the one assigning said "shame"). You were asking why this report deserves credence. The points raised in the report have citations such that you can decide where you fall on the presented issues.

It looks pretty well cited to me. The fact that it was written anonymously doesn't really take away from that.

I agree, but you could have posted the link with your comment, no?

90% sure wireguard (the VPN server) is going to need an open port if you want to connect from the outside.

It seems they already know how the community feels 🤣

Here is a link to this survey announcement on Steam, for those (like me) who wanted some evidence of it actually being official.

It is and it isn't. It's super dependant on use case. They bill on operations, not bandwidth. Obviously if you are hosting video/audio to be streamed, that could mean massive savings.

Lots of people, often unknowingly. If you run apt install firefox on Ubuntu, you're getting the snap version.

I'm a software dev with quite a lot of experience in server admin. I'm also a full time Linux user, and run a lot of services both at home and on a rented VPS. I had oddly enough never used Ansible before, but the instructions on that GitHub page should make it pretty simple.
