I would love to develop more virtual instruments but don't have the

sad that a lot of manufacturers are moving to proprietary sample
engines so you can't even migrate the samples into LinuxSampler or
similar. There are a large number of sample libraries that simply
can't be used on Linux. I'm not saying I like the situation, I'd like
to be running a 100% Linux studio, but have no choice.

Not all VSTs
have equivalents on Linux, sadly, especially with regard
to virtual instruments.
We have good instruments like Hexter and so on, enough for music production. If it is not
enough for you, start to developing other virtual instruments. But don't look back to
the proprietary shiny VST preset wonderland, we don't need this.
