Last time I looked, someone needed to sing and
play an instrument,
too.
I am very sorry, I do not get the meaning of your reply.
Linux does not power up everything, renders active and oversees every
component that is used in making music for me. I power my instruments
and my voice using calories acquired in food stores. I don't call my
music "vegetarian" music even though this can be considered a facet of
how I choose to derive the mechanical power needed for running those
instruments. But it does not really find a reflection in the music I
actually produce. I mean sure, I don't spit blood and bones on the
microphone but few people do that, and few people sing in front of a
blue screen.
