Agreed, not just plugins its also Ableton Live for me! There is nothing that scratches that for me, bitwig does look promising eventually though. :)

Then on top of that wanting to develop games without learning another game engine (I’m far in and can’t change engine without starting again)

And I wanna play Baldurs Gate 3 again dammit! (To be fair I think that might work and haven’t looked) :) .

I used Linux for 5 years and loved it, have a pi and a degoogled Foss phone as much as possible. I am an ally to it all, but have usecases which dictate Windows … I think it’s not unreasonable to want something to get better without binning 70℅ of why I use my computer. :)
