We seeing exciting movement for Linux in the audio industry too. With Reaper, Bitwig and now Studio One (although beta), serious DAWs exist for Linux. Although the major subscription and phone home based plugin manufacturers, like Waves or UA are not offering for Linux, which is maybe a good thing, also serious high quality vst audio plugins are now available for Linux. Just to name some of them: DDMF, Toonboosters, U-he, TAL, etc. Also with RME and others, there are professional audio converters available. And with ADAT, MADI, Dante, etc. you can run basically every professional converter. And the newer Linux audio subsystem Pipewire has real time and low latency out of the box. I am producing successfully, stable and with fun since 2 years on Linux! After a long period of pain with Windows.
