I totally agree with that (and thus I partially drop what I was
stating in the mail you replied to), but as I'm asking in other terms in
my email in reply to Kim, how much time does one really spend, on
average, tweaking a linux OS for being it ready for audio work? I
really don't think that much as myths want. And again, that time
invested is IMO the unavoidable trade off for using open source
software which you don't pay for
cheers

who, as Kim spotted out, has never worked "seriously" in pro audio
software, but thinks that linux's difficulty is overrated
