This is absolutely crazy news! Today feels like a second Christmas: I got news from the competition, turned in a huge project, and now Acon is confirming a Linux port!
By the way, are you looking for beta testers?
Acoustica for LINUX ??

Oooh!!! This is the most exciting news I've hear this summer!!! You can definitely plan on me buying!!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!stian wrote: Tue Jun 30, 2026 3:04 pm I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long, but I have good news for you. We are actively working on a Linux version and Acoustica is now running quite stable on Linux. As you might know, we use the JUCE library for cross-platform UI development along with a cross-platform core for DSP, ML and more. We will focus on Debian and RPM packages, and we have set up our automated build system to build on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (.deb) and Rocky 9 (.rpm). We chose Ubuntu due to its widespread adoption and Rocky / RedHat for stability and the possibility for system integrators to set up DaVinci Resolve with Acoustica and our plug-ins (in the future). That said, we have tried to keep the packages as compatible with other distros as possible.
Some of other technical details: JUCE currently relies on X11 and we'll stick to this for the initial release. We most probably won't switch to Wayland before JUCE officially supports it. For audio IO, we use the JACK and ALSA implementations in JUCE, which in turn might be routed to PipeWire depending on your distro.
The current plan is to start public beta testing in early September. We'll follow up with more information as soon as possible. Thank you all for your commitment, and we hope to be able to do our share of making Linux a viable option for professional audio and video production.
Best,
Stian

Stian, this is awesome. Cannot wait for the public beta! My work as a game sound designer often requires cleaning up field recordings so having native plugins for that task at this qualiy level will be a big improvement.
