It’s kinda a catch-22 situation: the vendors themselves need to implement these things on Linux, but they don’t because it’s a relatively small slice of the market. However, users won’t switch because these things aren’t available
That’s a good point—and I don’t like that I’m part of the problem—but I also don’t want to have to dual-boot just to play games or watch YouTube in HDR. I don’t care who makes it; I just want one OS that covers all of my needs. It would be nice if that OS was Linux.
Plus I DJ on the side and find that my decade-old hardware doesn’t play nice with Linux. Not a fan of the DJ software options, either. Mixxx is decent, but I prefer the industry standard, Serato for it’s reliability and simplicity. Unfortunately it doesn’t work in WINE without massive audio latency, which is a non-starter in a Live DJ environment where near-realtime (sub-5ms) audio is crucial.
