I too do pro audio work. I don’t like Windows and love Linux and have several laptops running Linux Mint, but I don’t think Linux is quite where I want it to be for me to switch fully for audio work. So I consider using Windows just an occupational hazard of sorts for now.
My wife does pro audio work as well. We both got fed up of the pure trash quality of MS’s updates (offline is not an option as remote sessions are sometimes needed). It got so bad that she had to comp a full session due to driver issues. So, despite loathing Apple, we bit the bullet and got a MacMini from Costco. Not quite Linux but it is unix- like and extremely stable.
For Linux, maybe check out Ardour, if you haven’t yet.

for laptops, linux is king. but many use cases still don’t work yet.
and since a desktop needs to be able to do so much more, it’s going to be a long-ass time before i can switch.
already learning to use it though, so the switch will be as smooth as possible.
