> but I'd be interested to hear of experiences with moving and using Audio apps (Ableton Live

I've been using Linux for work and hobbies for more than a decade at this point, mostly Arch Linux, some CachyOS, but always had a partition of Windows available too. Why? Almost solely because Ableton does not run properly with Wine, Proton or any other tooling, and has never been able to do so, for as long as I've used Ableton (since version 8 or 9 I think).

If you spend most of your day with Ableton, then Linux is not ready for you, and then I'm not even considering plugins or what not, just the default and standard stuff is not running properly no matter what you'll try.

right - same here WRT windows partition. Not always using Live, but it gets used when it's necessary. I'm slightly disappointed that they haven't done the decent thing and released a Linux version, but .. ah well, what can ya do hey?

I'd be willing to shell out for a new license if they need that for making a Linux version... I guess next step is to fund some FOSS developer to actually add support for it to Wine, by force if must be :P Wonder if there is some way for developers to raise money for adding support for specific software to Wine? Might not be such a a bad idea.
