You can lead a horse to water but you can't make em drink...

We have extreemely good tools already. The hard part is learning how to 
run a stable machine. You won't find it any different on other OS's. If 
you want to let people record two tracks without dropouts, then add some 
fx you could do that easily 5 years ago on Linux.

If you want to let people make cutting edge music that blows everyone 
away you need to teach them how to play the instrument and then, maybe, 
they will come up with something innovative. My experience is one in ten 
can sustain real creativity.

The rest of us are doomed to hobbyism and inferiority complexes ;]

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
