> ChromeOS is close but still so far in many ways.
I continue to be impressed by ChromeOS. With the Linux development environment (Debian VM), it is a brilliant work environment.
Add Android apps as well and ChromeOS is an awesome convergence platform. There are Chromebooks that are high enough quality that I don't miss anything about Apple OS or Microsoft Windows.
> And for audio production
For specialty use-cases, driver support will favour Windows and Apple OS.
And gaming is still Windows-first, although Linux is improving.
It's not driver support for audio stuff. Drivers are great; haven't had any issues at all. The UI for the software, especially DAWs, is just plain garbage. It shouldn't be this bad; I'm halfway tempted to start my own project to put together a fork of one of these DAWs with a UX that doesn't suck.
Technically a lot of stuff for linux audio is amazing; it just lacks the level of polish to enable someone to actually just use it out of the box.
