Finally made the move, I've still got windows on my laptop that I will use for my music creation but, main desktop is now windows free.
Hey Stuart one of the things that you can do is have some Linux distro as your main OS but then enable virtualization and create a Windows vm for when its necessary. I used KVM and did this on both of my laptops. Now I don't see Windows unless I have to. Also to me Windows works better in a vm.

I'm trying to find out where the hell this printer driver gets installed to so I can remotely remove the old driver and recreate the printer with the new one.

@jmoore I do have a lab server running proxmox, I will setup a Windows VM on that going forward I think. I'm leaving windows on my laptop though because I create music on that and I don't think it would run good in WINE.

Ok I get that. However, don't forget that there is almost always comparable software in Linux that runs just as well or better. It usually seems better because of the underlying Linux in place.

@jmoore I use FL Studio and it took me ages to learn that DAW, I defiantly don't want to learn another lol. The difference between others can be quite significant. My desktop is my daily runner though so won't be too much of a problem.

You can and likely will have licensing issues - at least legal ones if ever audited.

You never know until you try.

@dafyre Main thing would be if VSTs and Asio audio drivers work ok.

How? No where did he state he was getting an illegal copy of Windows installed anywhere?

trying to correct my posture as it is absolutely awful. @Supreme_Overlord and I will knee each other in the back when we catch ourselves slackin'.

Which they won't in WINE, especially newer VSTi stuff.

Your right about, DAWS are all very different from the few I have seen. I know it would be a pain to learn another.

You could resolve that by using a statically assigned DNS server for your stuff - assuming they aren't blocking DNS queries to other DNS servers.

Does that client use the separate network for POS stuff like most of your clients?
so the devices don't have internet access, only the server does? -
