There are tools that work on any OS. Audio processing has been developing at an even pace on all main OS (Windows, Mac, Linux). At this point it's a matter of what flow works best for you. Windows itself is not an industry standard by any means. The OS matters very little in general beyond being able to give you real time processing and low latency. Windows could not even do low latency before 10.
I can throw out names too. Bitwig, Cadence, Ardour, Zebra yabridge Pianoteq etc. Also entire distributions — MX, Elementary, Ubuntu, Mint, Solus etc.
Is it relevant? Maybe, depending on what you actually need.
Like I said, there's no shortage of tools on any OS. If you want those specific ones that you listed and you want to do it on Windows, you can.
The only thing I object to is saying it can't be done on another OS that you're obviously not familiar with.
Can you now install Mac OS on any hardware? They have the best tools for audio work, right? I can just choose that tool and install it on my... Oh wait! I can't do that.
Do you not understand the argument you're arguing?
Hackintosh is arguably harder to deal with than Linux.
And why is pro tools still an industry standard? Is it because it's the best software for the job, or is it because it was left unchallenged for 20 years?
Yeah you missed my point, but I would imagine that's normal for you. Anyway, enjoy your life!
Uh huh!
