These days I sometimes use #Linux for #music. I use #Bitwig and @uheplugins so much that it is not really a big deal. I hardly even remember sometimes which OS I'm using. After certain point I might switch to #macOS but for constructing basic composition any OS delivers really,.

There's easy ways to run also Windows VST's under Linux but I like to use always what is there native because limitations are great for creativity :-)

Also I love Audio Damage's Eos2 reverb, which has also native Linux version (by a chance, used it before knowing this) so yeah, pretty much covered despite limited number of choices...

There's also stuff that is really easiest done in Linux vs other operating systems. One would be routing audio from any app to any app. It is what Pipewire does... So e.g. sampling something from any possible video stream is dead easy. For macOS you have to pay something like $100 to get that capability in more limited form by buying an OS extension called Loopback.

Installing all existing U-he plugins: https://gitlab.com/jarkkojs/home-directory/-/blob/main/.local/bin/linux-uhe-install-plugins?ref_type=heads

I'm planning to also make macOS version of this some day (there must be a way to silently batch install pkg's, I suppose because #Homebrew does something like that).

NOTE: this is not polished script so do not guarantee that there are no any glitches.
