    I would say let your friend try Linux, first. DAWs like Ardour support vst3 plugins, so most things would be fine. If that does not work out, assist them in running DAWs under wine or proton. FL Studio works under wine, probably Ableton too.

    If nothing works out, then yes, macOS is fine. Just don’t login using your apple account, check privacy settings after every update. You can use apps like LittleSnitch on macOS to check which apps and services are connecting to which domains and IP and block them. This way you can get a lot of control of your privacy.





















  • I have a question. I have tried Cursor and one more AI coding tool, and as far as I can remember, they always ask explicit permission before running a command in terminal. They can edit file contents without permission but creating new files and deleting any files requires the user to say yes to it.

    Is Google not doing this? Or am I missing something?
