I’m in the same boat; audio production/composition, otherwise i’d be using Linix too.

Same all my friends loved it, i didn’t get far past the Barron. For me combat felt dull, but it could also just be I find rpgs super hard to get into now. As a whole I really liked the universe and since failing to play the game the first time i’ve read all the books and thoroughly enjoyed them. Went back to try the game again after but still no go for me.
