I'm guessing, since firewire support in Linux is moving into the sunset, that this may be of more interest to the Apple/Protools people. But, Linux is my focus, so I figured I'd offer here in case there are still some Linux holdouts. ;)
You have this backwards.
It was Apple that announced no more firewire interfaces on their
hardware. There is no active development of firewire support for macOS
whatsoever. It was Apple that basically shut down any future for
firewire by announcing their complete abandonment of it. Nobody makes
new firewire audio interfaces now, and that's entirely at Apple's
feet.
On Linux, where the support for firewire audio interfaces has been a
bit patchy, things are actually slowly improving, and you will
continue to be able to use firewire audio interfaces on this platform
for as long as you wish.
Just checked here in Debian 10. It still has FFADO and related stuff.
Maybe time to give up on Ubuntu? When I got my current Dell, Ubuntu
repeatedly failed to install successfully on it. Debian went on with no
problems.
