Isn't that how financial predictions work? No one knows, it's always a gamble, if it wasn't by definition it would have happened earlier. Not sure why people get so up in arms about it, signs can be seen but the timing is al

It can be both, likely and risky, timing the market is one of the riskiest things one can do... It's likely there will be another major stock market crash, it's part of the cycle, and will always happen in its current form, good

I don't run it on Linux, a friend of mine whom I share a studio with has it running on Ubuntu. Personally I prefer having a Mac for music production, the audio stack works flawlessly without any fiddling.
