Still using it because many apps I paid damn good money for a use daily have no Linux support and Linux as zero similar apps.

    You can always run windows on a VM within linux. You can passthrough any required hardware. And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.

    Whoa thanks for making me aware of this project, this looks great. I was running Linux on my laptop before, but had to go back to windows because of running into issues with figma. Excited to gtfo windows permanently.

    Well unfortunately they don't have ones I need. 1 TuneFab an app that allows me to convert my Audible files into mp3s. Second Tune Amazon that allows me to convert my Amazon music files into mp3s. And lastly need a good dvd/bluray ripper software. Also what VPN software does Linux support?

    Linux supports any VPN protocol pretty much. If your VPN vendor doesn't want you to lock in their software - they probably allow you to download pure OpenVPN or WireGuard config file that can be easily inserted on any major distro.

    And also as far as I knke, Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux

    They do but don't use Proton. They're very lazy about their VPN implementations and the official clients are very leaky in general. Plus they neglect all their linux apps.

    I can't speak to bluray/DVD ripping, but I don't expect that to be an issue. What format are "audible files" and "Amazon music files"? I don't think I've met a format ffmpeg couldn't convert, but maybe not in a way you'd like or would feel as convenient.

    TuneFab

    Is this a feasible alternative? https://getlibation.com/

    As for tunefab for amazon music, why not just use soulseek instead?
