Whether Linux is the answer really depends on what you

Linux has several advantages, and the obvious disadvantages that it
currently expects a technical user rather than any old moron.

And if you can't get it to work, you'll be relying on help from
people who think you are a moron. Good luck with that.

Exactly and this thread is a prime example of that.
Linux people as a whole are nasty, rabid zealots and I know this is a
sweeping statement, but there is much evidence of it being so and my
own experiences have proven it to me.
They are as a group, programmers, not musicians and they look down upon
anyone asking for help who doesn't have a degree in programming.
The Linux community has a difficult time understanding the concept of
the computer/operating system as a tool, or a means to an end.
They prefer instead to tinker with the computer instead of using
applications.
It's kind of a weird Star Wars/Trekie type oddball that gravitates
toward Linux.


If one of your PCI cards flakes out and you have to replace it, Linux
won't hold the system hostage like Windows has to me, e.g.:

No. You'll just need to find one that is still in production that
has working Linux drivers. Good luck with that as well.

RME is the best card for Linux.
M-Audio is a close second.
Other than that? You are out of luck.


This is a classic example of how the Linux community at large will lie
through their teeth to sucker in yet another convert.
It's almost like the Hari Krishners for goodness sakes.
