I upgraded to 2.0 specifically (and despite the new "12 months of updates" license) because they do Linux.

Reaper is good, but Bitwig is much easier to get into.

Also, if anyone doesn't know about Airwave [1] they should check it out for running their Windows VST instruments (or those from e.g. vst4free.com [2]).

What annoys me about music software, though, is the way the authors/companies have special offers which are time-bound. Free u-he VST instruments if bought within a two-week window? Eh? What about the people who already bought the software? Or did beta testing? Or... ?

Ableton live was the last thing that made me keep a Windows install alongside Linux. I switched to bitwig and never looked back. Took a few weeks to become fully natural with it, but that probably has something to do with years of muscle memory from ableton live.

While I don't do it often, video editing is something that is still lacking in Linux.

I have tried a few options, but none of them feel quite right. There are always strange workflow patterns, or missing features that I think are crucial.

I didn't knew about this! I would need to research pro audio interface hardware manufacturers that support Linux
