    Can you now install Mac OS on any hardware? They have the best tools for audio work, right? I can just choose that tool and install it on my… Oh wait! I can’t do that.

    Do you not understand the argument you’re arguing?

      Hackintosh, but Pro Tools is what’s used by the actual industry (so if you want to be serious about it you better learn to use it) and it’s on both Windows and Mac.

        Hackintosh is arguably harder to deal with than Linux.

        And why is pro tools still an industry standard? Is it because it’s the best software for the job, or is it because it was left unchallenged for 20 years?

          It’s the best tool if you want the job because that’s the industry standard, but if you want to use alternatives then you’ve got a lot more choices on Windows and Mac.

          I never said it’s impossible to do audio work on Linux, you’ll be limiting yourself if you do though.

            Yeah you missed my point, but I would imagine that’s normal for you. Anyway, enjoy your life!

              Your point was that pro tools isn’t necessarily the best, I never argued that it is (unless we’re talking about becoming a professional in that field, in which case it’s the best tool because you won’t be able to make it as a pro if you refuse to use it, there’s more to being the best than just how things work) and you haven’t proven that Linux tools are better, so you didn’t make much of a point.
