Linux Audio DevelopmentOn another note, I'm planning to reach out to a few "in consideration" #vendor (s) to see whether they might be interested in porting their products to #linux via #crowdfunding. I'll keep you posted. 😎
Gax@linuxaudiodevelopment maybe try reaching out to Ableton. I recently was at one of their events (Ableton Open House) and talked to some of the devs. I told them to look into the Wine/Proton layer to solve the "what Linux distro should we even target" problem. They seemed intrigued and apparently they hadn't considered that possibility yet, since they could continue to develop for Windows while worrying less about Linux.
So it would be interesting to see what they might reply to the Linux crowd

@backtail Thank you for reaching out! Personally, I'd love to see Live on Linux. The thing is, there are several Linux support request threads on Ableton's Centercode website with countless votes from users, including myself. Plus, Ableton already has a native Linux version of Live. Push 3 is built with Linux. In my opinion, if they wanted to, they could easily enter the Linux market. Hopefully, it will happen soon. ✨🙏🌟
@linuxaudiodevelopment An interesting approach would be to run the audio engine (like on the Push) natively on Linux, but handling the GUI via Proton. That maybe also could solve the latency issues. However, I have no idea if something like this is even possible with Wine.
I also would love to keep my muscle memory from using Live. But I understand that it is a technical undertaking/challenge.
@backtail To be honest, I don't know how much effort it would take for Ableton to fully port Live. But I guess they could go a 100% without any emulation layer.
