Feel free to use the following email template to let your favorite plugin vendors know that you miss their products on Linux.

Dear *VENDOR NAME*

Please offer native Linux binaries of your plugins! 😇

Here are five reasons why you should support Linux:

  1. The Linux market share is growing steadily (see https://linuxaudio.dev/#linux-target-audience-size.
  2. Linux offers a robust and flexible audio server in the form of PipeWire, which outperforms its macOS and Windows counterparts in many areas.
  3. Amazing DAWs such as Ardour, Bitwig Studio, Mixbus, Reaper, Renoise, and Studio One are already available for Linux.
  4. Many plugin vendors, including Audio Damage, AudioThing, DDMF, discoDSP, Kazrog, Sinevibes, TAL Software, Toneboosters, and u-he, as well as numerous other Open Source and proprietary developers, already offer native Linux builds of their plugins (see https://linuxaudio.dev/#linux-vendors.
  5. Most modern plugin frameworks can easily build native Linux plugin binaries out of the box (see https://linuxaudio.dev/#framework-linux-support.

Please feel free to reach out to Amadeus Paulussen from Linux Audio Plugin Development. He is happy to answer any question you might have and is also providing Linux debugging support. Check out his website at https://linuxaudio.dev/#frequently-asked-questions.
