New free reverb plugin RVT-100 Reverb

You mentioned "VST or CLAP development kits, JUCE and other framework". I you would be an experienced software developer you wouldn't do this. If you run a company and you have responsibility for the people who work with you what do you do if customers complain errors in your software ? all you can do is "sorry, we use third party kits". You and your team would start to find the errors and getting help from the framework developers, good luck. You may look for a day job after your company is down to the ground.

The advantage to using JUCE is it is mature, refined, and well tested. Their code is going to be more robust and sophisticated than yours will be, and it’s deployable right now without weeks or months of reinventing the wheel.

Lots of pro audio developers with pretty good reputations use JUCE. Universal Audio, Arturia, Audio Modeling, Eventide, Antares, Steinberg, to name a few.

So if these developers can rely on JUCE for their industry leading audio software, I think your free plugin is safe.

I like to read different points of views... Maybe someone wants to light up my life....

Hi! With the current state of ever fluctuating linux system libraries, system gui's, myriad kernels and their modules, created by folks sometimes with a lack of cooperation/coordination, it's a small miracle there are dozens of distros which can be used to create music, with many fine daws to choose from, and no shortage of sounds with which to compose.

But that's at the low $$$ end of the market. Musicians are used to buying what is advertised, what is used among peers, and what they see in studios or publications. So using linux doesn't come naturally, while Ableton, Cubase, Pro-Tools, and various Mac counterparts seem normal. Same goes with choosing higher end hardware.

As time allows, I suggest picking just one of your products, port it to linux, and provide a simple install script like U-he does. This avoids distro-wars, packaging woes, and you'll get a feel for the linux market, without a huge investment. The Airwindows dev proves one man can crank out many versions of each release, small effective tools with specific goals, so the build service in use might be of interest.

As someone who hasn't booted windows in many years, has no access to a Mac, yet happily creates music in linux, I understand your decision. Mac and win are corporate monoliths, embedded in schools, businesses, and governments. They have two leaders, two boards of directors, and shareholders. In comparison, linux OS 'community' is like a pack of hungry animals, with dozens of egos, often well-meaning, but clawing and fighting for acceptance (if not dominance) in their respective arenas, and scrambling for financial support. And often, nobody they must answer to, beyond those in the mirror. This can be problematic, or can be a blessing, like a tool that must be used very carefully.
Cheers

Man I’m DYING for a 64 channel interface for Linux.

I’d be fully hybrid with no more plugin distractions or OS boondoggles so I understand some of what the OP is saying.

But far as daws…. I scored with renoise, reaper, and mixbus on Linux.
