I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.
I’m quite surprised Ableton haven’t released a Linux version yet. They would have had to do some of the legwork to stand up Ableton Push.
I assume this is coming at some point, tbh

What’s weird is the Ableton groovebox is just Ableton on a Linux computer afaik they could release it they just cbf.
