Taking your DAW to Linux or Windows 11 etc. in the future?

[Master Mi]

I wanted to ask everyone how you plan to handle your DAW in the future.

Microsoft, with its “too big to fail” mentality, seems to be becoming increasingly bold with each new Windows version, and you sometimes get the feeling that Microsoft is more and more becoming the owner of your PC, while you yourself are increasingly being relegated to the role of a fool who, in a world of increasingly powerful and opaque corporate structures, is simply allowed to agree to become an increasingly transparent citizen.

Windows 11 in particular seems to be taking things to extremes, while powerful computers that may only be a few years too old are being dismissed as obsolete and, in true capitalist fashion, according to Microsoft's rules, should be scrapped today in order to buy a completely new computer with an uncertain expiration date.

This is what it looks like when unelected, filthy rich billionaires with their money-is-no-object aura decide to play world politics.

I'm getting increasingly fed up with how Microsoft handles our data, personal rights, and finances, and how it is developing an increasingly resource-hungry version of Windows that seems to be turning into a dysfunctional data octopus full of changes for the worse, and which is becoming less and less capable of fulfilling its function as a stable, powerful and long-lasting operating system for user applications.

I'm currently still living in the happy Windows 7 Pro era with an eye on Windows 10 Pro (which most of you probably have at the moment), just for being able to get some newer VSTis.
But I'm increasingly considering switching to a Linux version such as Linux Mint, as the increasing user-friendliness of Linux means that more and more musicians and DAW users are switching to this system, or at least, with Windows "The Eye of Sauron" 11 looming in the near future, more and more people are toying with the idea of cutting ties with Microsoft after Windows 10:
 

So I would like to ask the DAW users among you in particular how you plan to handle this in the future.

Are any of you already using Linux for music production - or has anyone even managed to get their DAW or DAWs (including additional VSTis and plug-ins), which were developed exclusively for Windows, to run completely on a modern version of Linux?
