@ercanbrack@mastodon.online I definitely hear where you're coming from! Part of me wonders if it's not kind of okay for Linux to have less audio stuff available. From my own experience, it has helped me focus on getting the sound I want before I hit record, which has honestly been life-changing, and has made it so that plug-ins that used to feel non-negotiable in my "workflow" now don't matter to me at all. That said, I think expanding the Linux ecosystem is generally a good thing! @amadeus@mstdn.social

@@ercanbrack@mastodon.online Maybe you could talk to Chris Randall at #audiodamage. He has been in the VST game since early 2000s and while not being open source he has opened up to Linux a while ago

@ercanbrack@mastodon.online @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com I am sorry you seem to be dealing with a bunch of professional pessimists. 😜🫣 Personally, I think it is enough to keep making developers aware that other opinions exist and keep asking them for Linux support. These days, most people I talk to are actually excited about Linux’s progress and want to be part of it. Some developers see the benefits sooner than others, but I am confident most will come around. 😎

@ercanbrack@mastodon.online @alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com Of the arguments against Linux support, the biggest one I keep hearing is the fear of the support burden stemming from the preconception that Linux is fragmented (which, in reality isn't a problem in most cases). In the vast majority of cases I've been involved in, the actual porting required relatively little effort (though there were / are, of course, exceptions).
