Are there any good guides about moving music production to Linux?

#microsoft think my current, perfectly-good PC should become e-waste. So naturally I'd love to move to #linux and plan to have a drive on there for daily-drive stuff like web-browsing and the like.

But I've invested a great deal of money in software like #ableton Live, and a ton of VSTs which, by all accounts, are a proper ballache to get going under Linux.

I know #renoise and #vcvrack have Linux versions, and there are probably some ways to get #vst plugins to run, but what would I realistically lose moving to Linux?

I really, really don''t want to have to have a #windows11 drive, but it's looking like I'll have to.

CHeers.

I've defrosted the Moogs for the first 100% #solar powered telling of Duncan Porter's tale of two visits to the Rhone #glacier. Tomorrow at 2000 UTC (7PM UK) at https://party.radiofreefedi.net/ See you in the chat!
