I don't have experiences with Microsoft and Apple. I don't have much
experiences with consumer equipment, regarding to audio and video,
unfortunately I do have some experiences :(.

By all means, I recommend to test Totem and VLC.

I'm interested in multimedia and I switched to Arch Linux for good
reasons.
I always recommend to use Linux only, even for pro audio, but this go
along with disadvantages :(. You might read

There are solutions for audio, but for video I suspect unlikeable OS to
have advantages :(.

IMO it's brutal truth.

I really hope I'm mistaken and you are right.
