If Linux could deliver what MacOS *does right now* and *has being doing for
two or three years* in my studio - I'd use it - and I'm doing my best to
work towards achieving that.
Knocking a good current working solution is not a way of achieving anything
- better to look at its good points and try and incorporate them in what we
are doing with Linux.
It is simply rubbish to say that "frequent re-boots are a way of life" for
Apple users. Maybe several years ago it was true... but not since 8.1.x
It is *not acceptable* in the studio to have a reboots/dropouts or whatever
on any kind of regular basis - the musicians are there to play music *not*
computer hacking.
Iain.
