One more reason to move to Linux, then use Windows entirely for Windows development.

Speaking of it, any GUI for gdb? I like the GUI of windbg, I wonder if something similar does exist for gdb. (EDIT: found Kdbg)

Also what is the level of support for pro-audio stuff under Linux? I had some luck running my own stuff's ports on Linux, even on my RPi400 (which I use as an ARM and Linux dev tool), MIDI devices also work due to standard drivers, but I wonder if any audio interface has proper low-latency drivers. At least I could still use Krita and my graphics tablet under Linux.

I'm curious about that too. Ableton Live, Studio One and about 1500 VSTs including Arturia's, Izotope's and Native Instruments' stuff are the things keeping me on Windows for my own main PC. It has been a while since I used a Linux DAW. I use Linux more and more for other things now, because I'm not enjoying the feeling of Microsoft owning my computer. It's a shame because under the hood Windows gets better and better, but they just make the user experience increasingly annoying.

I don't think they can go full cloud, whatever that would mean, because of all the professionals with professional software that runs on desktop Windows.
