I fucking LOVE WINDOWS!!!

I LOVE when Microsoft puts literal keyloggers on my computer, I LOVE when my computer tells me what I can or can't do on it, I LOVE bloatware and did I mention how much I FUCKING LOVE MICROSOFT TRACKING EVERYTHING I DO?

The main reason I haven't switched to Linux is because of the shitshow of setting up all my music-related stuff. Sure, there's LMMS, or Bitwig, but I like my FL Studio and Ableton goddamn it!

(Well I do enjoy Bitwig; I just didn't remember it existed until I started writing this. I'm gonna try it later after this goes live)

I have a Debian virtual machine where I've been doing some weird shit to try and make FL work; everything runs just fine, but the latency is absolutely horrendous and makes it impossible to actually produce anything. And this is just stock FL, I'm yet to even try running any VST plugins, or Ableton.

The only other hiccup I see myself running into is the lack of paint.net, even with Wine, but I think I can just replace that with Pinta, or force myself to adapt to one of the various other Linux-native image editors instead. The rest of my workflow should go over smoothly, as the few games I play work fine, and I already use kdenlive as my video editor which is Linux native.

Once I figure out my production setup and get some more hard drive space (cause I'm running off a full 256gb, with a 1tb external drive that's also full) I'll gladly set up a permanent dual boot in a heartbeat; I want to dual boot because I share my computer with a family member who needs Windows, otherwise I'd just go scorched Earth on the entire thing and do away with these corporations entirely (wherever possible). But until then... don't you just loooove Windows??
