Another thing that could happen is:

- A number of Linux users buy it and use Bitwig.
- After some time, version N+1 adds some nice features and
  at the same time drops Linux support - "we can't spend all
  that effort/money on supporting such a small market".
- Users want to keep using their toy and switch to OSX or
  Windows.
