It could be that I'm just a Linux fanboy, but I sincerely believe there is an inherent stability to the Linux kernel that can be experienced physically by the user.
I feel different when I use Windows from when I use Linux and I think much of that is due to it's stability. The Linux kernel design is optimized heavily for stability. As we know, "The internet runs on Linux"...
I think I can feel it - especially when I make music.
That's what I'm talking about. As an artist I feel more comfortable using, and just being around, machines running Linux.
It's a "vibe" I pick up on.
**I'm currently using Windows for music production, because Linux sucks at it - for me. Right now anyway.
I use Reaper and IK Multimedia products. Linux Mint is my distro of choice and it's too much of a hassle to set up and use that stuff - if it's even possible.
[I am NOT going to install Arch Linux - been there, done that - no thank you. (And forget about Guitarix and any other substitute for the IK Multimedia products [that I already own!], they don't even come close to measuring up.)]
Windows, sadly, is my best option. For now.
