Same here, sign me up!

I also have an Ubuntu Studio installation, but using Reaper in Wine with WineASIO. EZDrummer 2, EZKey & -Mix 2 actually work really well with Wine, installing & authorizing via the Product Manager works too, but I can’t install the EZDrummer 2 updates for some strange reason (it’s unable to find the Installation, no matter where I install it). So far, this is the only issue I’ve encountered, though. Performance is comparable or equal to my old Windows box.

You can try it out yourself pretty easily as well, simply grab any recent Ubuntu-distro, sudo apt install wine64 & install your DAW and the Toontrack executables and grab WineASIO from Sourceforge if you need it, done.

I guess a native Linux version might be a bit far-fetched, since VST support is pretty bad, but it would be really great, if the Windows installers worked in Wine as well. I can live with EZDrummer 2.0.2, but I’m worried that more quirky installers could follow in the future..
