Default TI software for Linux?

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I haven't seen anything specific to this question: Is there or will there be a version of the Total Integration software for any Linux distro? I'll just say that I am dismayed at the direction Apple is taking, and I will never, ever touch or run Windows again unless I am forced to. Please don't think I am trying to start a flame war; I just wanted to head off the "what's wrong with MacOS/Windows?" questions, and yes, I know that MacOS is UNIX.

It will just never happen. Total integration as a technology and the accompanying software is very expensive for Access to support, as software products are for many small companies. The fragmented nature of Linux makes it cost prohibitive to even attempt this, and Linux as a desktop operating system simply has not gained adequate market share. Like you, I don't want to get into the pros and cons of various operating systems (I actually use all three to some extent but mostly Windows and OSX), but it's been decades now that the Linux camp has been declaring victory, yet they still have only a couple of percent of desktop market share. It's a viable server OS and has certain embedded uses that make sense, but not as a mainstream desktop OS.

Thanks, for the thoughtful reply. My hopes about Linux were sparked yet again when I heard about the BitWig project, with which I'm guessing you are familiar. I'm a huge Live fan, having found it more intuitive and robust than anything I've used before, so having a DAW written by Ableton ex-pats for pay-as-you-like is very exciting to me. [sigh] Cheers.
