Hi,
I had my first experience with a Linux system: I have installed Xubuntu into an old laptop and now it's enjoining a brand new life 
Everything works flawlessly and it is FAST.
This experience made want to go a little deeper into the possibilities of having a Linux DAW and I discovered that there are actually projects going on...
My question is: can we expect to have commercial musical applications running on Linux? I mean: will we ever have Live, Cubase, etc.?
For istance: I'd like to ask to Zauni what would it mean (in terms of hours of work) to make Jamstix available for Rosegarden (or other applications). Should you re-write the program from scratch?
Thank you. |

A LINUX version of Jamstix would be a major undertaking that we cannot afford at this time but we'd LOVE to do this in the future when resources are available.

It's great that you think like that And I guess you are not the only one out there:)
In general, I think that the real question is: who's got to do the first step? I mean, a lot of people are not ready to switch to Linux because they would not find the software they need; on the other hand, many developers cannot afford the costs of producing software for a 'small' community.....
Not an easy puzzle...but I think we'll go through many changes in the next few years. Let's wait and see!
Thank you for your great work! |
