    The only two things making me use windows for now are my inability to run FL Studio on Linux (I tried before, I’ll try again)

    Procrastination to go through my files to see if there’s something worth backing up before I wipe my drive

      There are alternative DAWs but ngl they all make me sad. And some vsts are a nightmare to get running too.

      But they are alot better than trying to get fl running on Linux imo. Check out zrythm if you ever have some time to kill. It sounds lile the most promising one.

        I’m just in love with FL’s keyboard roll and I’m just used to the entire daw. I don’t really want to switch to a different one

          I think Bottles has a ready-made profile for installing FL, last I saw it was marked as silver quality. Might be worth a try? I’m a Bitwig user so I haven’t needed to try it. :p (Though I have heard tales of FL’s magnificent piano roll.)

      These days it’s best to use Windows on computer where you need it for a specific application, and another machine for your desktop. Sometimes with a switch so you can use the same keyboard/mouse/monitor

      I know someone who uses one of those beelink minis or similar as a dedicated machine to run their 3d printer because the company doesn’t support Linux as well as Windows.

      It sucks to have to keep your nice production machine separate from your desktop, but it really beats the headache of virtualization or dual booting
