My mistake then, doesn't change the point of my remark, as the OP was Indeed asserting any distro.
Your lengthy response is a good example of Linux forums, that eventually I got tired to visit, though.
Remember my first distro used kernel 1.0.9, and I still use Linux distros at work, just not on my own laptops, so I am quite aware of the tweaking that never went away.
Your claims that "Linux is not a good DAW" does not match up with my experience of opening the Pop_OS! store this weekend, clicking "install" on Furnace and Ardour, and instantly having a way to make music, or of setting up my headphones on Linux, which worked instantly when I plugged them in and let me open "Settings > Sound" to click which chipset of the headphone was used (digital/analogue) to fix the fact that 1% of volume was far too much (doing this is impossible in Windows, because I tried it back when I ran windows -- you just have to be deafened, I assume).

It was supposed to be hyperbole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
I took it as obvious that I was excluding specialised distros.

What tweaking? People tweak WIndows too.
As the comment further up this thread pointed out, you need to tweak Windows to make it " functional and unobtrusive operating system."
