There's one thing keeping me from switching to Linux on my PC, it is the lack of support from FL Studio and a lot of VST plugins for music creation. (My experience using Wine has not been very good.) (beehaw.org)

Printers. Always a problem. I wanted to use my HP PSC1315 under Windows, but apparently the driver used Flash Player...? so it doesn't work anymore. On Linux HP has pretty good support with HPLIP, so for normal printing it works (this printer has "partial support"). Unfortunately for high DPI I have to use Windows 7 virtual machine.

Oh, yeah. You can just use Windows as printer driver with VirtualBox.

    yea man, there is way more printer features on windows than on linux, since manufacturers decided so. i am not tech savy and i fear i might have to troubleshoot my way through a vm just to print a pdf. guess i ll have to run a separate machine just for my windows needs, but great idea nonetheless.
