I have a HP Pavilion desktop PC. So maybe that's a factor too. I'm not saying Linux was slow, audio software and plugins used more CPU that what they did in Windows due to wine wrappers.

If I just seriously had to use Linux for audio and I would die if I saw a Windows logo, then I probably would just use Reaper, and only plugins that have native Linux versions like Vital. I wouldn't touch wine with a ten foot pole.

Renoise didn't seem too stable for me either, it crashed often, I would be livid if I paid money for that.

I'm not saying that there aren't audio engineers and music producers out there making Linux work, I personally know one person that is. But the lengths he has to go through to get a usable system is mind boggling, the amount of bottles and custom scripts he employs. He says it takes about a month to get it all setup. Maybe a week if you didn't have a job and spent all day on it.
