I had just hit the button on a recording session last night, and a fucking full page "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE EOL OF WINDOWS 10!!" (paraphrased) popped up over my DAW. Yeah, I'm prepared alright Microsoft. I've got a flash drive with Linux ready to install if you keep pulling shit like this. It's going to suck because a lot of audio software developers are garbage with Linux support, but if Windows is just as garbage, there's no reason not to migrate.
They're actually trying to force people onto 11 now? That windows partition that never gets booted sounds really close to becoming more storage for a windows-free life
Mine went bye-bye a while ago.
I initially installed linux on an additional smaller ssd. I recently set out to swap that setup around, so that windows gets to be on the smaller drive.
Except that after moving Endeavour to the big ssd... I just didn't bother with setting up windows again. Haven't needed it yet.
Reaper is available for Linux. I can't vouch for it as I've not used it on there, but I've used it on Mac and it's great. Generally well regarded and is pretty inexpensive.
For audio specifically you might find FreeBSD easier to set up. As a DAW, not as a desktop in general.
ALSA+PulseAudio\Pipewire+JACK are kinda messy compared to newpcm+JACK .
Go DAWless. Buy a Synthstrom Deluge for example. Still need a DAW for recording and mastering though :/ I wish there was Ableton for Linux. "-if you keep pulling shit like this" I can tell you without a doubt they are just going to intensify shit like this instead of stopping. I'm thinking of switching my main pc to Linux and use my old win10 pc disconnected for DAW. No viruses and hackers when there's no internet. No Microsoft ads either.
If I could make a suggestion, try already swapping to FOSS while ok windows to make the transition to linux easier on yourself. That is what I did, and it did wonders to help me become better acclimated to Linux.
You could also see if you can run DAW on a VM in Linux or see if your software is supported with WINE. That way you could potentially just run the windows application in Linux without a VM. Most of the time, a "Silver" rating is enough, but a "Gold" rating or above is recommended.
You don't want to run a DAW in wine or VM. Also, I'm familiar with Linux environment, I just can't live without Directory Opus (mainly) which is a big reason for not switching my main OS away from windows. Also, I've had loads of issues working with my NAS from Linux. In Windows network drives are just visible, in Linux not. Getting access has been a major pain, mostly I haven't been able to get it running with my RasPi. Every time I try a tutorial online I do every step exactly as shown but the result is always different and I get errors no one else ever had (unable to find a solution).
You may be interested in Wine compatibility of DOpus https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7453
upvote because you're not wrong, But If they can't handle mounting smb shares, wine is probably off the table ;)
DOpus is one thing I can't really understand why is not ported yet. It comes from Amiga anyway, I understand they might have done a lot of OS-dependent things since moving to Windows, but it should be doable, no?
I just sent them an email begging them to look into a Linux version :)
It's good to bug them about it, but last I checked they just didn't want to.
