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.

Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal, die Sonne scheint - ein Glitzerstrahl.
The platform,
software and community are all part of the package when you invest in
a new OS. And cross-platform software has zero impact on that.
Well yeah, except that "there's no Ableton Live for Linux" is one of a
number of reasons, though a particularly good reason, why many people
could not possibly choose Linux as the platform for what they thought
they wanted to do.
Bitwig Studio may change that. It certainly seems as if it will remove
that particular reason from the list.
