I make music as a hobby. It's one of the few things that I enjoy doing and have been consistent with. I like to hear how my sound has changed over the years, I started with making trap beats now I'm into bass production. There is soo much depth to the art, there is essentially an infinite amount of knowledge and skill to obtain.
Another thing is house plants. I like how beautiful they are, and seeing them grow, and taking propagations. I've also grown trees from seeds, in fact I just picked up a bunch of maple seeds this week that I'm going to plant, now I'm waiting for some acorns to drop.
I've been running fl studio thru wine for the past couple years and it works pretty much the exact same. If you already own a copy i'd recommend trying it before buying some different software. Your biggest issue might be running vst's, I was using only stock plugins until last week when I got yabridge set up and am using vital a bit now.
