Finally Switching to Linux + Where I've Been

I've not logged in for a bit and there a couple reasons why, but the main one is that I am finally biting the bullet and switching to Linux. I'm kinda just done with how bad Windows has gotten, and I don't need to go too in depth about why since my gripes are the same as everyone else's. The main problem I've had though is moving over my music production software. I've found good Linux alternatives to most of my programs, but the good old FL Studio still is unbeatable for me. It's workflow is pretty much baked into my understanding of music production, and the only other DAWs I've been able to successfully complete a song in is Ableton and Cubase. 

Currently I'm still working on getting a good production setup working on Linux. I'm slowly learning how to use PipeWire (qjackctl's graph mode is kinda easy for me cause its similar to FL's Patcher plugin) and for now I've settled on using Reaper as my DAW of choice, with Ardour, Bitwig and FL running in wine as backups.

I've gotten mostly what I need so far to work, so I may actually follow through with using this as my daily driver. I never did before cause every time I tried I'd either be too lazy to properly set it up or I'd run into too many problems to fix and just give up and go back to Windows.

Ok, I'm done talking now. For anyone that wants to see my desktop, here it is. I'm on CachyOS which is an Arch-based distro, using the Cinnamon desktop with the Semabe theme (found here). Not the prettiest but I'm happy with it and I find Cinnamon plays better with my hardware than my previous desktop environment, KDE.
