If I could make a suggestion, try already swapping to FOSS while ok windows to make the transition to linux easier on yourself. That is what I did, and it did wonders to help me become better acclimated to Linux.
You could also see if you can run DAW on a VM in Linux or see if your software is supported with WINE. That way you could potentially just run the windows application in Linux without a VM. Most of the time, a “Silver” rating is enough, but a “Gold” rating or above is recommended.
You don’t want to run a DAW in wine or VM. Also, I’m familiar with Linux environment, I just can’t live without Directory Opus (mainly) which is a big reason for not switching my main OS away from windows. Also, I’ve had loads of issues working with my NAS from Linux. In Windows network drives are just visible, in Linux not. Getting access has been a major pain, mostly I haven’t been able to get it running with my RasPi. Every time I try a tutorial online I do every step exactly as shown but the result is always different and I get errors no one else ever had (unable to find a solution).
