Does NI works on linux? I am living windows for linux and I wanted to know. If yes, which distro would be the best. I am planning to go with Nobara. If not, please, you should support linux. Especially now that windows business practice is getting ridicules.

    There have been a number of discussions regarding using NI libraries on Linux and the distro and tricks involved so you might want to do a search and see what you can find. I highly doubt NI could make a reasonable business decision to support Linux because the market size is so limited and the cost of production would be so high.

    Personally I'd think carefully about this decision given that even if you could get it working there will be no support if something doesn't work correctly. That might be okay if NI is just a passing interest for you, but if it's a significant part of what you depend on you might be hosed.

    Hello,

    i would not expect this to happen, even if this would be cool, you are also not the first one asking for this. Native really has some other issues to fix first - but who knows…….

    oh well, I might have to wait a little longer with windows. Because I have the entire package from NI and I'm not going to stop using that any time soon. But, please, think about supporting linux. Microsoft's future is not looking good. The moment I see that spyware Recall become mandatory I am uninstalling it for good, no matter what. At the moment I can disable it. But, if not, I'll figure out how to run NI on linux. I will not support Recall.

    Thank you guys for the response. Great community.

    MS will be just fine. And so will Windows.

    And no one will ever be exposed to Recall unless they purchase a Copilot+PC.

    On Linux - without a sea change in actual usage, sea change in potential revenue opportunities and even bigger - a massive change by NI to support it - will never be a thing.

    Plugins and samples would run ofc, if they didn't make it mandatory to download their bloatware of a download manager to download the actual files you paid for :) Just wanna voice my disdain for this here again.
