You can block bloatware/partner/advertisement apps from cluttering up your fresh Windows installation by changing just one setting during the installation.
The ‘proprietary software’ you’re referring to is Cubase, which is one of the industry standard DAWs. I think I’m OK relying on the DAW / company that created the VST protocol and is used by pros all over the world.
With some industry software, the proprietary stuff really is better. There are plenty of great FOSS tools out there, but not always the exact thing you need. For example, PDF software: I don’t know of any editor as powerful as Acrobat. And I absolutely hate Acrobat, but it’s the best tool out there for modifying a PDF.
Bud you don’t control any of the software on your device I’d bet. FOSS or not. Even if you’re building from source, are you inspecting every line of code on every update? Are you reviewing every PR that gets merged? No, of course not.
