Oh cool, I can't think of any potential issues with oil companies prioritising AI over human customers

You're also SOL if you have a couple of decades of music projects in various DAWs (though predominantly Ableton, plus a decent number of Maschine & Reason projects, for me) using all sorts of VSTs from over the years. I keep several versions of some VSTs installed so I can open older projects, and those older versions are never getting patched to fix broken Linux support by the developer, even if a more modern version does get fixed. It's all got to come from wine devs, which frankly probably have more important issues to focus on.

I've tried a few times to get Ableton working with all my plugins and MIDI hardware and it's always been an exercise in madness ultimately resulting in failure and usually a lost weekend. It particularly doesn't like anything with my iLok key involved, last I tried a couple of years ago.

I happily run Linux elsewhere, but my main desktop is going to mainly run Windows for the foreseeable future unless something drastically changes. At least my projects aren't all in Logic!

There's also some software I use for my photography that didn't properly work on Linux when I last tried (e.g. GPU features in PureRAW are the main thing I remember), but I think there're some alternatives there I'd look at if I could get the audio production stuff working perfectly.

Ah that clears it up, cheers

As far as the Hague?

There's a baseline 20-30% of all polls taken over the world that is made up of hateful nutjobs and conspiracy theorists

There could be someone running for office who has figured out how to solve all the world's problems for free, and that 20-30% will vehemently oppose them.

The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.
