It's not a troll but a real interest.
This are very true words!!! In fact I would like to have a linux version of Cross, but there are some points that show me that this will be very hard and others that show that it might be a good way_
- Linux market share (old chart but comparable) is too low so that the mixvibes boss may profit from developing and selling this product
- You need more knowledge than any windows or Apple user needs for example when it comes to using jack and the jack server for real time audio. I am not quite sure if you can build an installer which automatically install and configures jack or if building a script is that easy
+ The first scratch software developed was based on a linux distribution - guess why
+ You can grab a distribution, shrink it down to the the bare necessities and build a dedicated operating system in which everything is build in, installed and configured. Installation works as every other linux distribution and afterwards it might be plug & play (controller and/or timecode)
If you break down every "problem" in this world it all ends up at the money and this is the highest hurdle for this idea/project/call it what you want. As UncleVibes and lilin already said: the boss has to profit from this and if so this might come reality.
