Keeping the original thread alive: Plus one for a Linux version of Cubase !
I’m wondering what inference you are deriving from my questioning your motivation for posting on this forum thread ? I’m wondering why you would go straight to inference rather than answering my question on motivation ? What’s uncool about asking what your agenda is ? I do appreciate your responding to me. Surely you can see that your response does indicate a certain level of passion ?
I’m wondering why you are in denial that there is an argument going on here when the definition of the word argument is “a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory” ? (Or direct from the Python Script: “An argument is a collective series of statements to establish a definite proposition.”)
BTW: I prefer to have arguments over beer. It’s more fun. 
If you’re not working for Yamaha/SB, would it be inappropriate to ask for whom are you working ? I’m guessing it’s a software company developing solely on Windows / MacOS ?
Are you sure it’s just me asking for Cubase on Linux ? I’ve seen quite a lot of folks just in this thread asking for it ? Is it fair to assume that anybody who wants a Linux version of software is expecting to get it for free ? What if I prefer the architecture of Linux without the proprietary hardware and walled garden of MacOS ? What if I want to reduce my dependence on US owned operating systems ?
A man can dream:
I’d be really interested in a single unit, 19" rack mount, fanless hardware appliance with embedded ADC/DAC/MIDI I/O running Cubase on an optimised, rock solid, Linux distro. With sufficiently low latency and reliability, we’re looking at both a DAW and a VST performance instrument. I currently don’t dare take a machine running MacOS or Windows on a gig…
