Reaper is Linux friendly and free for 60 days, I would give it a try. It’s free after the 60 days but will prompt you to pay. The audio interface, I’m not to sure about, I personally do not run Linux.

Depends if I want to use my phone or not. If I balance it correctly the mouse works, cellphone works perfect as well.

I just open notepad and put something on the enter key and lay the laptop lid on it.

I downloaded the app for a trial today. It’s already missing artist and albums that appear on Spotify for me which is a little upsetting. I was hoping a majority of the content was available on both platforms.

I might make the move to tidal as well, I just have a crazy big playlist though on Spotify that would be sad to lose.
