(Also: I'm Accused of lying about Linux—it boots, runs my pro audio workflow, stays stable, updates--though yearly dismissed as “niche”. Yet I'm the deluded one.)

Kind of a weird choice to use a RPi but guess it shows how powerful they are now (if not the bargain people think they are...)
I think his comments on Linux are fair though it sounded like he didn't need to do much tinkering so his final appraisal was a little weird. Ultimately he made a 'pro' track with just native tools and believe that's where the focus should be; what it can do for you without getting hung up on what you're missing.

Yeah, I also find the RPi tilts the comparison a bit.
I'm basically also looking for a secondary system for being able to run Linux in parallel, not as a dual boot and thus learn the ins and outs over time, but with todays hardware prices it's a bit hard to justify.
Maybe running Linux on a Neo?
But yeah, it was definitely an interesting perspective, although a bit skewed.

I like the overall message.
And to me, the Raspberry Pi “comparison” is fine: it just shows how little outlay - and obsessing over specs, etc. - you truly need to Get Shit Done (tm).
In other words, I might well be mistaken, but in my view, the video wasn’t actually about this OS vs. that OS at all. More the overall message, again.

I started with GarageBand and a cheap MIDI keyboard two years ago. Best advice I got: finish bad songs. You learn way more completing 10 terrible tracks than polishing 1 forever. Also, Vital synth is free and sounds pro. Don’t buy gear until you hit a real limitation.

Dual boot with CachyOS - first time I can really feel Linux since 1996...
Bitwig, Reaper, Studio Pro, Renoise...
Good times
