From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently the only thing stopping me from moving over is that the only way to get lossless music strreaming is through qobuzz, and im too lazy to move from apple music. what i just thought of though, is maybe running a windows or macos vm, and keeping apple music in there. how good is the audio though? does anyone know if bit perfect audio passthrough is possible? thank you

This is interesting.
What is the requirement for not using Linux directly on hardware for music?

Yes it is possible and it works just fine.

Pipewire can adjust the sample rate on the fly to match what all is playing, so maybe if there is a hypervisor that can do the same?

@Codilingus @strawberry You can pass through your physical audio device then let pipewire on the hypervisor do it.
