In addition, not many of the off-the-beaten-path apps I want to use play nice with WINE, either; like ACID View or RIPtel... and they are pretty flipping simple.

ZorinOS *attempts* to make things easier, but probably works better with consumer based apps and games a lot better than the weird stuff I want to run...

You know, I'm currently working with this frame.work laptop on Linux... and while I don't think I'd be happy w/ Windows - I *know* that everything would just work if I went that route...

What you say about working with nix at work kinda... resonates with me. All my other machines are nix, and just an ssh window away; JESUS, should I break down and install Windows?!?!?!?

NO!!! :P If it were MacOS, I would... but I can't goto Win.
