Before the first version of Pro Tools was created, there was no market because there were no sales. ![]() The same logic could have been applied to Pro Tools before it was created. Thus, according to that definition of "market", there is no market, nor could there ever be. No SDK support means that products requiring the SDK cannot be created. If one defines a market by measuring current sales, then there is no market because there is no SDK support. This should help software vendors such as Avid provide video support for native Linux distros that support Wayland. ![]() Ubuntu recently switched to the Wayland display manager, instead of the rusty old X11 display manager. This means that it would be undesirable to run Linux programs on WSL2 if native Windows versions are available. Unfortunately, WSL2 runs as a virtual machine, which requires significant computational resources. Microsoft is about to release a new graphical subsystem called GWSL, which will allow Linux programs to display natively on Windows. The default distribution is Ubuntu, with a kernel optimized by Microsoft. Microsoft provides Linux integration with Windows, called WSL2. Here is a video that discusses benchmarks. Linux is a lot more efficient than Windows - that means more computation is possible for any given hardware configuration. To summarize this post: Pro Tools would probably run at least twice as fast on Linux as it does on Windows, if it were carefully ported. I have worked with Windows and Linux for years. with the random updates on windows and mac, that usually cause some sort of issue, this could help build a more SOLID stable Pro Tools environment. The reason I was asking for a linux version is, simply. Thanks all for your response, anymore useless remarks need not respond. I am not sure how truthful it is or validated it might be, hence the question here. The statement about the "non linux port" agreement was a statement made FROM A DIGIDESIGN employee years ago as reference from an google search anyone could do. Many 3rd party plugins are already available for linux machines, so really don't see a problem there. eliminate the need for a highly unstable, easily influenced, unreliable Windows machine, That is why most studio's switch to a MAC as soon as they can. YES Microsoft should quake of the presence of ubuntu as it already does with Mac.Īnd seeing that Mac is based of unix, a SOLID OS like ubuntu with Pro Tools could in FACT. How about this conspiracy instead? Company X doesn’t see the need to develop its product for a platform with less than 2% market share when it already has enough work on its hands maintaining compatibility and adding new features on the two most dominant platforms. Seriously? Microsoft should quake in the presence of Ubuntu?
