As of the last few years, there are actually high quality apps for music production on the Linux desktop (BitWig, Tracktion), they're just not the apps that I've used for the last 15 years, and since I have a Mac, I'm not inclined to change. However, if there's not a Macbook I'm excited to drop €3000 on by the time that my current one dies (or stops getting updates), I'd consider spending the time to switch tools.

Notable there too is that my next Macbook will almost certainly be around €3000. My last one was €1300 plus another €80 to max out the RAM. That's a pretty massive difference for the top of the line 13" model.

Those music production apps have the same issue though - most plugins that people want to use don't support Linux, at least not natively and easily.

Progress has been made but there is still a long way to go.
