Is Linux A Feasible Platofrm For Professional DAW work ?

I think the current "commercial vs. free" software debate is a lot like the "PC vs Mac" one: at the end something third will probably happen. In the case of software, I think we'll sooner or later see a public utility type distribution system emerge, like the one for water. Water used to be an pricey commodity too, like software is now, people even died in wars for it. In some remote parts of Asia water is still being sold by the bucket, I saw it with my own eyes. Wherever water became a public utility, it makes little sense to steal it anymore because the monthly bill, shared by the teaming millions, fell to a mere fraction of the original. My hunch says, something similar will happen to software too, eventually; we'll see a better distribution system, reminiscent of public utilities. Even more, with computers and networks slowly reaching the remotest parts of the planet, software retailed as a utility have the potential to replace oil as the true global "currency". Imagine that, human thinking finally valued high. The movie industry will have a crisis, how can they produce "smartout at OK Corral" movies? :-) Imagine there's no software, it's easy if you try/No OS to cost us, no MS at Fry's... ---Jeff |
