From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think the real issue with audio work on Linux is the complexity of getting things working. MacOS and Windows are both much easier to work in with dealing with audio stuff and much like Adobe 's stranglehold on potential converts having to jump through so many hoops for an arguably worse experience really keeps some people at bay.
If you use a linux audio distro linux is easier than windows. Everything works out of the box, not weird drivers to install with all their bloatware.
Try to do it manually is hard, but there are some great pretuned distros that make it easy.
Oh yeah you're right there, but what I'm getting at is having a system that does everything you want is, I would assume, preferred. I run Pop and have it setup with my Audient EVO and it works well with Reaper, but getting it to that point was a pain.
If you're choosing to do audio production in Linux, the odds are that "easy" wasn't your top decision criteria. lol
Personally, I recently hooked up my Berhinger USB audio interface to Mint, and Ardour and Audacity saw it immediately. I was impressed. I was ready to google around for how to use lusb and dmseg and shit because I never remember what I'm doing.
Ha yeah you're right.
