And they only recently got rid of the floppy disk, so if they’re making the big decisions for Steinberg, then we’re in for a long wait for Linux! 
Hear, hear!

The day that happens is the day I’m done with Windows.
It took me awhile to disable all the cloud items on my MacBook Pro, and I don’t want to go through that with a new Windows OS , that is if it will be even possible to do that.
Have you seen this?
@uarte having lived in Japan myself, I have seen this firsthand.
Big cultural issues, hard to shift.
If it is Yamaha that has the say in it, forget about it! 
Musing on this topic, Dorico made a smart decision to use the Qt framework which runs across all platforms. If Cubase would follow this same direction, it would be a lot easier for them to move to Linux (notwithstanding that Dorico won’t budge re porting to Linux either.).
Speaking as a programmer myself also, Qt ain’t that hard! It just requires staff resources dedicated to the effort. I get the impression Steinberg is quite under-resourced for programming.

WaveLab also uses Qt. The VST3 SDK specifically support Linux. Go figure.

Hello Cubase fellows,
I would suggest something rather better than Linux for the Steinberg products - FreeBSD (or any FreeBSD based distro).
Linux has 5 major, independent, distributions - Debian, RPM (RedHat Linux), Gentoo, Slackware and Pacman (Arch Linux). Most of them Desktop and User friendly. No need to mention that even thou Ubuntu is Debian-based distro, it’s different enough from Debian itself.
On the other side the BSD family has 3 major distros - FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD which have much more in common than the Linux distros. Still only FreeBSD is Desktop and User friendly. The other 2 members of the family are aimed to be a server OSes.
We should have in mind that MacOS has a lot in common with FreeBSD, which means, in theory, it should be easier and faster to port from MacOS to FreeBSD, than making Linux version of the apps.
The rest of the information is provided by me in this post:
No need to mention that FreeBSD is faster, much more secure and resource lighter than Linux. 
Best wishes,
Thurisaz

Iteration has nothing to do with your post.
Iteration is an error for a programmer.
When iteration is the result of some lines C, C++ or C#, then the program ends in a loop, and you have to shut down the program.
So for developers iteration is a loop.
Not a drum loop… 4/4 
So are you from X-FILES C-SPAN ?
With Steve Scully and John Seimes…
No, you are on a Cubase forum.
So, linux servers are CHEAPER, so 90% is linux servers.
Clients:
90% is Windows user.
Samsung Android is a linux kernel.
Are you trolling?
No, but you want to know…
So, a trol always use a paragnost.
The paragnost usely use a stone image, like boedah.
Then, the trol thinks he is in space because Steven Hawkings told him so.
lol.
Mmmmm … (click)
this is me… making music…
Please do not derail this topic.
…and look up the word iteration in the dictionary.

I have loved being a Cubase user over the last half-decade. I came in as a straggler from the various incarnations of Cakewalk. But as of early this year, I’ve switched to Linux for music production. There’s a great deal of flexibility and I’m getting super-tight midi timing with over 14 midi ports at once(something windows struggled with). Support for Focusrite devices is solid. It is a learning curve, but it’s worth it. I hope Seinberg will consider a linux port or at least a port of some of their tools. But I’m not waiting for it.
I suspect this will be the last visit to this forum for me. TY for the good times.
