From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for a good, studio quality microphone that just works on Linux. Also wondering what software or hardware people are using for enhancing your voice.

I use a Rode NT1 with a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd (!) gen. It's not quite "just works", you need to set up parameters for the USB sound kernel module to get the Scarlett working. Otherwise it "just works".
Be careful with Focusrite products in general and read the Linux kernel project's instructions very carefully on supported products, in case you're interested in such a device (e.g. it's common that 3rd gen works, 2nd or earlier doesn't).
