I love recording with my iPad. I use a Presonus Audiobox iTwo interface. This was plug and play too. I just mentioned in another thread that I was contemplating switching from PC to Mac. Most everything audio is plug and play as well as far as I can tell.

LOL, and I just switched from Mac to PC!
I hated recording on my iPad... it’s just too limiting for me, but I can see the appeal. I even played through Amplitube on my iPad through a PA at a jam session once, which was kinda cool.
GarageBand is quite a powerful tool, and will host VSTs as well. There’s a channel on YouTube called GarageBand and Beyond that is really good.

I was wondering what the dark side would be. I'm pretty happy with either OSX or Linux generally. Most of the time when I'm on Windows it's something that the company I work for has hobbled horribly in the name of "security".
I literally can't do work-related stuff without Windows somewhere. All the servers, VMs, and containers are running Linux somewhere. People often think they don't use Linux but it's everywhere behind the scenes. Outside of the desktop itself it's the dominant force.

Just don’t try Logic Pro, you’ll want to buy a Mac.
But in all honesty, spending ~$800 on the old Mac Pro tower will get you a pretty beefy recording rig. I absolutely love mine.

I recently set up my daughter with something similar. She's getting her feet wet in music production, and making progress on garageband.
All it took was an older mac mini. $130 on ebay, and an old monitor, keyboard and mouse I had lying around.
She didnt complain about Covid for a solid 4 days, so money well spent
