music production (that’s me)
video editing & pp
architecture software & planning software
legally compliant software for taxes, etc.
various GIS software
very specific closed source hardware
There’s quite a few people I can confidently recommend Linux to, but there’s also a bunch I can’t.
I tried setting up my DAW setup with external plugins and even with huge limitations I couldn’t get it to work. I tried 8 times, with 5 different configurations. This is not feasible. I had to switch back, and I hate that I had to do it, but I’m working with artists and costumers, and things need to work fast and stable.
