From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tend to agree. And people need to realize that Adobe's secret sauce is not in their apps, it's in the multi-device interoperability. I love lightroom, but it's not the photo editing ability (darkroom has that), rather it's the fact that I can seamlessly work the same catalogue from any device (even if I don't use their cloud for anything but smart previews).

I think Adobe would cash in if they supported Linux - for want of a workable alternative, I'd even pay them.

Music device manufacturers need to support Linux too. NI Maschine (and others) is simply a non-starter...
