> a lot of people on HN don't realize that some people require software outside of a terminal and a web browser. Can I run Ableton on linux?

"$OS is wonderful because I can run $myapp"

and

"$OS is terrible because I cannot run $myapp"

are both very narrow (even wrong) assessments of what $OS offers.

Linux is much more than "a terminal and a Web browser" and I think the abundance of software available in Linux should make that obvious to anyone who is actually trying to do more than find satisfaction with $myapp.

you are correct, "$OS is wonderful because I can run $myapp" ; that's why I choose an OS, because it can run $myapp. Why would I want to run an os that doesn't run $myapp?

back in the day, I used Linux for everything, I spent hours just screwing around with Linux, and then for some reason I switched to MacOS and almost over night I went from just screwing around with settings all the time to actually doing something with the computer.
