Please investigate a bit more before saying something like that. If what you wrote about Linux' lack of music cration and stuff above was correct, I would never have used Linux, but instead windows. I don't even know where to start arguing against what you say. If I start mentioning some softwares, like snd or pd, that are much better to windows alternatives or runs better in (and is developed primarily in) linux than windows/macosx, I would just forget a lot of programs and systems.
