Greeeetings,

As stated in the subject, we need native linux support for our beloved virtual drummer !!

I saw other posts on the matter but those are old and when someone manage to make it work in wine it is with outdated libraries … damn.

Linux users deserves this port, they never use less warez than Windows ones (I know what you are thinking, no, it will not open the door to more piracy, Linux is one of the main reason to not use piracy !!)

Ok … enough of that now … (Clint Eastwood to Tom Hanks in “Sully”)

Have a long and productive life good people. (and wear your masks)

MacOS has little to do with Linux, they do share a common ancestor but the kernel is very different

Simply not true as far as “little to do with”… Unix, Linux, MacOS  are the same family is what I was saying.

Different than windblows entirely etc.
Linux/MacOS/Unix OS versions don’t need to worry about compatibility and latency as they don’t use a driver cache like windblows.

This is why in 2023 Linux support is crucial.

There are literally millions of Linux users, and a vast majority of them use Ubuntu and Arch-like distros for their studio/audio needs.

Cheers.

I work in computer repair, and while most computer users are just casual web, social, email, etc., then you have work from home, games.  Casual, know nothing users are win or mac.  We DO get a little dual boot, and pure linux stuff.

IMO you hit the  nail on the head. BUT I’d say the Average windblows, macincrap (used to be macintosh before just ‘mac’) users (I use ’em all but these phrases are literally from my days 25+ years ago and still funny/relevant) are just that “users”. Power developers, and users like myself and others need more options than what’s provided in the proprietary cans that small ‘n’ limp and crApple provide. Cheers!

Hi,

I have been a windows user and switched to linux recently, i’m surprised/disappointed that support for linux distributions is not available yet.

This a  new request to please consider adding native support to linux.

Has anyone heard if this is a possibility at some point?

I have managed to use EZ Drummer with Reaper on Ubuntu Studio using Wine and yabridge. That is until I updated Ubuntu Studio. Now EZ Drummer crashes in both Reaper and Stand-alone mode. It would be great if this product worked natively with Linux.

+101 for Linux support.

I have recently installed Linux Mint Cinnamon as dual boot with Windows 11 Pro. Just through the UI and navigation that I have encountered so far, it is (IMHO) a worthy contender.

I will eventually, be switching to Linux for my Music Production needs, and to use it as my daily driver.

I have invested a fair amount of £’s on carefully selected VST/i plugins, along with Cubase Pro, but I am willing/prepared to find alternatives for the one’s that are just not compatible with Linux.

The market for Linux support may seem futile, but how are we to move forward without taking risks? This is how a business starts in the first place after all. The possibility of new customers are definitely there, as the Linux user base grows each day.

I am watching Presonus Studio One very closely, and when they finally support Linux natively, they’ll eventually get my investment.

So yes please @ToonTrack, please consider Linux support.

I suspect that’s because most Linux users are more tech savvy and so they do their own repairs… unless it’s something big, then they talk themselves into a new computer. 🙂

Have you tried AV Linux? I’m about to embark on this road myself and I’m hoping Glen’s instructions/manual are enough to bring my entire collection of Toontrack stuff along. I’ve read (and seen video) about getting EZ Drummer 2 & 3 working with Linux, but I only have the original EZ Drummer, so I’m not placing any bets yet.

[RiViT]

I’ll add my voice (again, perhaps?) to those asking for Linux support. I’ve had it with Windows. Version 10 was supported to be the last one ever, then along comes 11. Then they announce the end of support for 10. (sigh) Typical.

I’m tired of:

• having to mess with settings after every update,
• having no control over the colours used in the interface,
• spyware shoving ads at me for things I’d never be caught dead with,
• but mostly I’m tired of the corporate games.

So, it’s Linux or nothing… well, maybe FreeBSD if they ever get their act together on the desktop.
