I’ve decided I’ll bite a few bullets and move music production to Reaper on Linux. The pain wasn’t so bad with previous versions of Windows.

That update cycle and the unexpected consequences to drivers and file permissions is the reason I’m now keen to move music production away from Windows as soon as possible.

Two days ago a ten minute remix took more than half an hour because when I logged in I had to wait for Windows to install a previous download, wait until it had finished downloading the next update before I could start work, then wait again when I logged out while it did the first stage of installing that new update. Every time I boot up it insists on installing updates, and then hogs internet bandwidth and CPU until it thinks it’s finished. There are only two reasons I boot into Windows one is a heritage software application I support and very occasionally need to tweak and rebuild. I have a dual boot computer and work in Linux 90% of the time. I have EZDrummer2 and find it most useful. We don’t want Mac, we want linux.Īlso, as a software-developer myself, i offer my freelance-service for porting 🙂 I and probably many others don’t need an add-ridden, unstable OS. Since there will be effort necessary to perform this conversion, why not use the opportunity and do the right thing? PORT LINUX! to enforce their “Universal Windows Platform” (UWP) which kind of makes sense but also forces developers to convert their software to the new platform.

Windows gathers information about everything you do and shares that information with thirds for their profit and allegedly for a better user experience which i think nobody using windows as a work/production-system has. shutdown the system at least once a month while working and won’t let me do sh#!* for at least an hour.

If you disallow this behavior the updates will reset it for shure. arbitrary delete my drivers, because Windows knows better than you what you want. Windows 10, which is pretty much the only windows one will be able to use in a few months, is becoming more and more unusable as a production-system.
