Yup, it's back to lubuntu for me. Why? Because Windows 7/10 are both incredibly slow on my aging Athlon X2 64 5000+ system.
Windows 7 didn't used to be slow, but for some reason it is now. I have the exact same hardware, a fresh install, with only the most important updates installed. Still, it's slow as molasses. No idea why. To Microsoft's credit, they let me upgrade to Windows 10 for free, which was shocking and supercool. But it's just as slow as Windows 7.
And seriously, Win 7/10 is slooooooow! I can hardly do basic web browsing with it, to say nothing of audio recording/editing.
So, I'm pretty much forced to return to linux as my 'primary' OS. I'm going with lubuntu 18.04 LTS. Good ol' LXDE : )
Two questions.
(1) Audacity is better than it once was, but there's still just no substitute for Adobe Audition. Has anyone got that to work in linux? What did you use to do it? (And which version of Audition did you use?)
(2) I own a copy of Office 2016 Professional Plus (64-bit), but last I checked, it didn't work with Wine. I've read that it *does* work with PlayOnLinux, but I've never used that software. I've also heard that only the 32-bit version works. Thoughts?
Other than that, I'm not wedded to any particular Windows software. So if I can get those two issues resolved, I should be good to go.
