Ok! But I still long for a live usb mulab linux distro(install), with just the right tuned tools for music making with mulab= a small footprint and easy maintenance! No matter skill level and so on, just having a alternative music making distro is a step forward in this windows and mac ruling world!) You just need a basic platform for music production, with mulab running, and support for the linux plugin format in mulab as well as vst! I mean you pay for mulab and get a os with it, that is optimized for music production!

I don't exactly know how he does it (I think he might use the Juce framework, but not sure), but Collin from Loomer does seem to have a way to (ex)port/compile his code for use on Linux relatively easy and without many problems.
And I believe with great appreciation from the Linux musicians community too
Just the combination of MuLab and the Loomer products would make quite a powerful setup for any musician in my opinion

I used Linux for years for standard audio recording. I happened to have one of the sound cards that works well (maudio delta) and I never once ran into problems.
However, I never needed a sequencer, or anything I was doing straight 8-16 track recording. There didn't seem to be a really good sequencer, plus I really didn't need one at the time.
So yeah you run into compatibility issues with sound cards, but its VERY fast, and VERY stable (at least the software I used.)
I was impressed but like others have mentioned - you run into "you cant do this .." or "that isn't available for linux ... " issues all the time.
It was a great OS but for those reasons it was kind of a relief to get back to windows.
I switched to linux when Vista came out in all its suckiness, and as soon as windows 7 came out (addressing all my issues with Vista) I switched back to linux, started using sonar again.
Later, found MuLab and havent really touched sonar in awhile
