give me please your credit card number, exp. date and cv code

What would you do with that anyway? Linux software is free.

Yep, agree that both are about equally likely, thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt :-)

Hah!
I remember watching/reading news bits, circa ~2011 (a lot of news bits I recall) depicting those who avoid Facebook as the same; 'shady types who have something to hide--a possible danger even!' ... I was one of those people then. I avoided FB despite pleads and persuasion of friends, family and even employers to get an account!
I'm still one of those people today

You shut your rude mouth! I think you meant Amiga?!?

Linux has four main commercial 'daw' softwares', and quite a few free or lesser known commercial products. If you are happy and secure with a windows or a mac setup, that's your dancefloor, so keep happily dancing.

Me too. I vanished my FB Account back in 2014 - but because of other Reasons. I mean Life can be so peaceful if you don´t let others make it bad.

BTW I´m happy about everybody who is doing his own Thing and decides respectively.

But let´s say it this way: the Companys here trust MS as well as Linux and there is no Doubt about these Descisions even if it´s about Billions [...] because it´s all about what the Platforms give you. Windows is the mightiest Enabler ever on Earth. We should all respect that. Amen

I tried the Linux thing a few weeks back, nice OS(es) and cool for browsing and some other things but the selection of software available for windows is just far superior, I would have to leave so many great plugins behind, it would not be worth it just to hamstring myself like that for no good reason.

If I really wanted "privacy" I would just setup a windows machine and then disconnect it from the net after all my software had been authorized etc.

I'll check back with Linux in 5 years?
What?...Too Early?

Would you please just stand up from the Sofa, take your Shoes on and get the new Socks in the City you live in instead of shopping in the WWW?

Despite of Paypal Affairs [...] I never really had to give anything here. But that shurely depends on whre you live. Most of us don´t even have a Credit Card. There´s simply no Reason why.

Yes, using Linux is the only thing saving me from GAS :-)

(Actually, you can use most Windows plugins in Linux using bridging software, it's easier than you might think.)

Who talks about shopping?
Just give your values to someone from the street. Or you have no Trust? Could you share your and fellow's conversation, or you have smth. to hide?

In the context of Pro Audio software, yes, there's no comparison to the native offerings for Windows. Although, concerning runable software, all told? I think Linux has the Big Two handily beat.
For instance, a Linux user could compile and run virtually anything offered up on Github. Alternately, one could virtualize or emulate some environment--glokraw has posted many successful examples of this with WINE. Then there's Flatpak and Docker type stuff ... Lot's of software options!

A key point though is that Linux doesn't care what you run on it; Apple and Microsoft do. This is a very significant difference, because it's philosophical and it pervades, naturally. On the one hand, MS and Apple are determined to construct and direct your activities and behaviors. Meanwhile, Linux has become an approximate opposite to this.
One philosophy is of control, the other, liberty ... That's roughly it and that's a very big difference.

Where it'll lead next though is anyone's guess. I for one think the future is very bright for FOSS and Linux. We'll see.

Don´t want to suppor thes Window sh... anymore. Change to Linux?
