Just dropping to say hello Steinberg - just because Linux is open source does not mean you have to give away your software for free. There is no implication of that. There are many commercial software apps for Linux, even in the DAW space, such as Bitwig, n-track, and Studio One.
I’d be more than happy to pay for Cubase on Linux. So that’s one pre-order you have, at least. 
I know there are other subtle issues, but commercial charging should not be a holdback, methinks.
Why do you insist on spouting crap ?
None of what you said is true, Sounds like you just don’t have a clue how to run Linux.
I could care less if Steinberg never does a Linux version, Reaper and Bitwig run fine if I need to use them under Linux.
I prefer Cubase, have been using it since the very first version, and it works fine for me using a Mac or Windows computer.
Just chill out on your nasty little “fanboy” comments, I am definitely not a Linux fanboy, I just use what works for me.
Have a nice day…
Have known a looooooot of Linux fanboys in my time, personally. Many of them sound like that. They are often the types of people who enjoy tweaking their systems endlessly.
I don’t. I’m having to do it today because of something IK Multimedia screwed up and I really have begun to resent it.
I do NOT think Steinberg should start to support another, “giant can of worms” OS (and it really is) before they can get their Windows & Mac versions much, much more stable and resilient than they are.
What I have said is true: I’ve experienced it first hand. I’ve used many distros over the years and I know intimately what the hell I’m talking about. You can choose to believe it or not, but censoring my comments is amateur hour stuff. I mean, really. Fragile, fragile, fragile.
