Airwindows plugins are amazing! If you haven't tried Chris' plugins, you're missing out.
I buy music and other software to use on Linux all the time. A few individuals willing to play for software might not be significant but I just signed up with your Patreon so hopefully now you're at least partially incentivised to keep releasing your plugins on Linux.
Oh, I'm not doing that for money, or even thinking it will help me survive :)
The question is more whether I'll be compelled to stop work because I'm NOT surviving, but so long as I am, my incentive to release plugins on Linux is because it's the right thing to do. Also, I think it matters to have stuff out there where the barrier to entry is ability and education, not capital. I think basing everything off only how much capital you start with and are able to exploit, distorts things in very unpleasant ways.
Fortunately, so long as I'm alive and have internet I'm able to do something about it. Maybe, so can you! :D
Honestly there are times when I think the attitude is more useful than anything I do code-wise. And I still care a lot about some of the stuff I've come up with in code ;) but these days, more is needed.
It's worth thinking about why this is. I am very determined to stick with the kind of messaging and attitude that I like. I also have a strong intuitive feeling that it's not a good match to what platforms and competition and basically internet capitalism want to see out of me, and they've got enormous pressure to bring to bear, and many ways to direct me towards becoming what's useful to them, and indeed punish me for not doing so.
That would mean that if it's in any way hard to find 'that attitude' you're appreciating, it's because it is reserved for people who both have it and are willing to take a beating to keep it. As we think about stuff like that, think about what ways platforms would like you to be more, I dunno, Logan Paul or PewDiePie etc in nature, for engagement, and in what ways they're able to deliver pressure and advocate for those on their platform to take on that form.
