Linux native-support
Hello everyone,
this is my first post in this forum.
English is not my native language, and my choice of words might unintentionally come across as inappropriate. If anyone feels addressed in an unsuitable way, I apologize in advance. I try to maintain a respectful and polite style and do not wish to hurt or upset anyone.
Due to what I see as unethical and exploitative methods used by Microsoft — arbitrarily updating their systems, collecting my data completely intransparently, and negatively impacting the performance of my DAW — I am considering switching to Linux. It’s an operating system that I have used professionally for about 30 years in quality-critical areas.
My question to FabFilter:
I know this question has been asked a number of times before. But sometimes things change over time. So here’s my question:
Do you now see any possibility of running your (great) plugins on Linux? Native support would be a great opportunity to break free from dependency on M$.
I absolutely support this request ... The GUI problems using yabridge/wine are unbearable.

Adding support to this as well. Fabfilter plugins consist of 90% of my processing when recording or mixing. If we could have FF plugins on linux, it will be a gigantic step for myself and many others towards getting away from Microsoft and Windows. Macs

Macs are great too, but having a custom laptop or desktop with Linux would be preferable to many.
I would love to see this as well
I am not an audio professional, but Linux are coming more and more.
I use Pro-Q 4 for headphone EQ on M1 Mac for headphone EQ with different music player.
My next computer could be with Linux.
It would be awesome to have FabFilter on Linux. So many plugins are making their way to Linux every week now. Don't be so slow! Come on, FabFilter...
Yes, i think this is great idea.
You look at the statistics and see that there aren't that many Linux users, but in reality, people are simply locked into the Windows and Mac environments; many professionals would gladly use Linux if the necessary plugins were available.
I would love this as well. I recently switched to using Bitwig primarily because it allows me to comfortably work on music on my Linux workstation, but I still miss my plugins. I know as a developer that bringing support to new systems isn't easy and it's a long process. I agree with Artem's take that Linux market share is probably small because people can't use their software on this platform.
Second this request, the GUI bug is really annoying. At leastReaper lets you use the Plugin without GUI, but this isn't a satisfying workaround.
