@Wolf - Wouldn't make any difference mate, cause who cares what version you're >on?
I would care what versions I am on. …for the new features.
Sure in the case of Daz Studio yes I can stick with genesis 1,2 because I am a Daz content developer and can support any figure generation I chose indefinately with custom ,one off clothing. including G8
Understand I am all for Blender itself and FOSS in general and very excited about learning 2.81
But I use Alot of other professional software, that I prefer, so going full Linux is nonstarter in my case
And lets not delude ourselves.
serious music & sound production is mission impossible on native linux ,
you would likely do better with an old amiga box from the 1990's 
Managing multiple virtual boxes and WINE etc only adds needless layers of complexity to an already complex endeavour (3D animation& VFX) and forces creative people into the role of system admin/ IT/OS engineer when they should be left free to create with the best available tools they can afford.
Some of us ,and our paying clients would rather we spend our time being productive with our software... not having to re-engineer virtual boxes etc for every project to get only half of the software access we get with a fully supported OS system.
But to each their own.
