I think it is entirely possible with FOSS. this kinda reminds me of the situation 10-15 years ago when people were trying to make their windows laptop look like a mac… because mac was more “respected” in audio circles… FOSS will work for professional audio… how many sneers and eyerolls it solicits from others who paid $$$$, who knows… prob a good bit depending on the circles you roll through.
thanks for your time! all the best!
