From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've tried getting FL Studio to work multiple times but keep running into little issues. Tried Bitwig but can't get the workflow down since it's too different from FL. Unfortunately the best way for me is to dual boot since I don't want to spend time fixing broken settings when I want to produce. Sadly it's the only thing keeping Windows on my PC.
I'm considering running FL on windows inside QEMU KVM. But I'm not sure if QEMU supports booting windows...
I've heard of performance problems trying to produce in a VM so haven't tried that, but if you try it and it works let me know because I'd love to stop dual booting.
