As a weirdo who makes music and uses Linux as their only OS, I suppose I'll leave a little positivity in this thread. Yes, JACK does take some effort to setup and configure but once everything's in place it really is a dream environment. One of my favorite features (which I'm sure exists on other platforms but just works so well on Linux) is using Catia to route audio and MIDI between software and hardware devices on the fly. It also works perfectly with my external USB audio device (Behringer UMC404HD) which always gave me problems on Windows for some reason. I've been running this on my Ryzen desktop with Arch Linux installed for about a year now and it's been incredibly stable and reliable. I haven't had any issues with playback or recording latency either. Along with Bitwig this is my favorite audio production setup ever and I used Ableton on a Mac for years. If you're looking for a good tutorial on configuring JACK, I'd highly recommend this video from Unfa on YouTube [0]. He does a lot of Linux and free software audio production content which you might find interesting. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgrqMv3Lzfk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgrqMv3Lzfk
