Finally, I think I can still safely say that pro-audio

The numbers are small, but I think the numbers are rising. For instance,
very popular youtubers are coming out and saying they're using Linux for
their day-to-day use, which includes their video and audio editing. I'm
talking about big youtubers like Pewdiepie and SomeOrdinaryGamers, which
I think will bring more users to the Linux audio editing world. I've
also been running into more Linux music makers here and there, in online
communities and in real life. I think a big milestone was Reaper
releasing for Linux. After that, it seemed there was more interest in
Linux for audio.
I have no data to back any of this up, but I thought I would share some
of my experience.
