I am a Live User (Or even a Bitwig user presumably a few years down the road). I have a workflow I am used to, and I want to try out Linux for reason X, Y, or Z.

Thus I don't as to do so would mean limiting myself.
For the record, I also came from ProTools on Mac, and CuBase/Nuendo on Windows before that;) So not that much different, though I probably have been using Ardour for quite some time at this point and wouldn't be able to step up to PT or CuBase/Nuendo very easily at all:)
Heh as I said, it is the exact same argument above, just looking at it from a different angle. So my question becomes, would Sega have sucked if it could play Mario Kart AND all the Sega Games? ;)
...These are the programs
which would encourage users to install Linux and become part of the
community/ecosystem. Bitwig and other cross-platform apps are not. If
I'm on a Mac and I buy a Bitwig license, I have the choice of just
installing it and using it, or installing Ubuntu, configuring it,
fighting with drivers and packages, learning a new OS, then using
Bitwig. Of course I'm going to install it on the Mac.

I came from OSX as well, but I'm used to Pro Tools and Logic and
Native Instruments. I'm running Linux because I'm recycling an old
desktop. So it's an experiment. But I wouldn't have signed up to the
mailing list if I wasn't loving it.

To go back to the Nintendo vs Sega comparison, I was a Nintendo kid.
But I didn't tell my friend his Mega Drive (Genesis) sucked because of
the audio DSP chip, or the graphics raster engine, or the gamepad
ergonomics. His Mega Drive sucked because he couldn't play Super Mario
Kart or Starwing on it.

At any rate my nitpicking is done, back to my regularly scheduled "what the hell am I doing for this sound" work day.
