Never heard of it.

If you care for sound quality, or supporting the artists (which you should!), buying the music is the best choice. My picks below:

• CDs - if you care for physical copies; can be ripped into MP3/FLAC with a computer
• Bandcamp - indie-oriented digital storefront
• Qobuz download store - you’ll find more mainstream artists here.

As I mentioned in the previous comment, Carla isn’t cutting it - not stable enough in my experience.

I’d love to, but I am too dependent on my VST Plug-in library on Reaper. Running them through Wine/Carla doesn’t cut it.

I played with the idea of getting a Mac for music production, and installing a Linux distro on my desktop for gaming and video editing. But I couldn’t really justify dropping 1000-2000€ on a laptop with inferior performance to my desktop.
Looked into used specimen, but getting a 3-year old model only gets you a couple more years of software support.

So Windows 11 with a local account and many policy modifications it is.

Same goes for XBox, also the Steam Deck.
