Because I’m not going to willingly give my creative efforts over to a corporation that will hold it hostage and only allow me to work so long as I’m using only their products.
I mean, yeah, screw using Logic but most major DAWs run on macOS as well as Windows. Up until Linux pulls its finger out its arse on audio it’s pawbably going to stay a macOS dominated industry.
My DAC has been fully supported by pipewire for like 2 years now. Bitwig Studio works flawlessly up to my 192kHz.
Haven’t had to touch audio stuff in Linux since pipewire released. It’s a drop-in replacement for all the other apis.
Audio interfaces still face so many issues on Linux. Part of that might be down to drivers, and that’s on the manufacturers, but often there’s just excessive latency and stuttering.
They’re pretty distro-agnostic, you might have to translate some packages to whatever distro you’re using, but that’s just a quick search. The article in question
Do note that this requires some amount of fiddling, if that’s not your thing there are some distros that are already configured for audio production, such as AV Linux or Ubuntu Studio.
Not a problem with Linux. Pipewire works great and offers everything you need from an audio backend, there are great DAWs like Bitwig and Reaper and a good collection of compatible plugins as well. The main problem is hardware, which isn’t the fault of Linux but hardware manufacturers.

And audio “works” on Windows too. But both platforms historically have poor audio stacks.

I fixed all of that by following the suggestions on the Arch wiki page for Professional Audio, but I realize that not everyone knows about that.
Do those suggestions apply to other distros or only Arch?

Until waves plugins run well on linux it will never be a mainstream audio os.

It’s easy to make that claim, but this has happened to me without even using ASIO, so it’s using the common standard audio interface mode.
