This was my immediate thought as well. Not sure what level we're talking here, so sorry if I'm addressing the wrong part of the stack, but JACK on Linux has been a great experience for me in terms of latency and ease of use. I run into way more day-to-day problems on Windows.

What feature specifically are you missing on Linux?

And now that we have PipeWire, getting low latency audio is extremely easy too.

JACK is also really easy to setup with PipeWire.

PipeWire is love. PipeWire is life. Doing post on a documentary whilst using PipeWire. Linux for audio is finally there.

Exactly, the original thread reads as someone who hasn't touched a modern DAW from the last 8 years or so. Even Renoise has multicore support with sandboxed plugins so one of my ancient free shitty vsts doesn't bring down the whole system.
