@graves501 @mosgaard @nielso @ercanbrack @macberg @prokoudine @markus @ohmrun @Venn @ambientspace @x42 @mitscherdinger @wvi @samuelFRDE @bshankar Should I list any of you under Linux Musicians Spotlight at https://linuxaudio.dev/
I'm getting good feedback from potential Linux Audio #vendor (s), but want to make sure I haven't forgotten anyone (also for the Linux Audio Developers Spotlight section, by the way).
So if you have any input, I'd love to hear from you. 🙌
@amadeus I would point out that pretty much all digital hardware devices, synths, keyboards, FX boxes, run GNU/Linux these days.
That might be a more attractive market than actual end users, who then benefit as side-effect.
@amadeus I do not know, I only heard some some birds that the latest Push 3 is powered by Linux and has Ableton code inside.
So it is technically "Ableton Live on Linux".
Most likely it comes down to support. Many companies use libraries/frameworks that already support Linux. But these companies have no experience with Linux and don't think the expense is justified.
I have seen Linux builds that do run, but due to support costs companies prefer to keep it at macOS + Windows only.
@falktx What you say about support is interesting. Because some of the vendors that already support Linux have actually told me that Linux support is usually absolutely negligible, despite the often feared "Linux fragmentation". 🤔
@falktx @amadeus
I regularly encounter devs that work on commercial audio software using Linux as their primary development tool, but the company ends up only supporting Windows and macOS anyway.
