Windows wasn't any better in this case. I grabbed an old win7 laptop and it wouldn't run there either, but this time it was Korg's drivers and Windows' flawed notion of how to MIDI that kept me out of the promised land. SYSEX still works on both platforms though.
I'll note that on both MacOS and Linux the synth in question is ID'd, addressed and usable via USB midi with no additional drivers, installations or scripts.
Macs are popular in music because Apple pushed hard to get creatives on board for decades and it worked. I have a Mac because doing music stuff on Linux had me fixing tools more than playing music and I'm sure as shit not gonna run win11.
