Some Receptor competition?

It wont happen - in order to do that - you will need to pay Steinberg etc development fees to make things work with Linux (they wont do it for free) - who will do that? you? The way the dongles work cannot be open sourced as it makes the protection pointless. Steinberg etc may for a huge fee, make a Linux compatible system but no one will pay.

I think it's pointless to speculate over that. 
A few years ago, I also thought we would never be able to run vst plugins on linux.
Linux is currently *fine* for audio (not saying it's the best). But if you're so sure that that dogle thing won't happen, who am I to disagree?

Running VSTs on Linux is a whole other story than the copy protection troubles. UltraJv is right in what he's saying. Support for copy protection dongles in Linux won't happen because copy protection is inherently contradictory with open source thus linux.

I am still impressed that Wine compatibility settings can allow an iLok key to function on a primarily Linux machine like the Receptor. This makes me imagine a future in which the Syncrosoft key works also on the Receptor. Although, I have almost lost/broken my dongle so many times that I would be more thrilled if somehow Wine could help make all copy protection keys unnecessary on the Receptor. Just wishful thinking until better dongle replacement options become available.
