From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Came here to say this. I am planning on getting a new machine around tax return season though, so, will finally be able to play with it again.

Has anyone used the new beat mapping? That's one of the few things keeping me from using it full time.

Not yet, I'm keen to have a go as it looks very flexible

It's software. Think of something like ProTools or Reaper but, Open-Source and Linux-native.
