I came across this topic and wanted to respond. I am now a Chrome OS (Flex) user and it performs waaaay better than Windows and even Mac OS. The Linux support is incredible and I am running this on an $800 machine that was struggling to run Windows. Linux doesn't eat up your CPU/GPU in the background and that makes it incredible for a video editor like me to use. I have found though that despite the Linux community being incredible, unfortunately there are a surprising number of developers who don't have any vision for Linux. In general, I totally get why! But when Linux has changed to no longer be a very "techy" thing and OS's like Chrome OS have significant advantages of any other OS and can run very powerful Linux apps, I don't understand why developers don't support that. Chrome OS is popular in schools obviously, but there is a market emerging and growing rapidly of people using Chrome OS in a very professional sense and this is what I don't understand. By developing for Linux (specifically Chrome OS), it is kind of future proofing. There is a user base for a daw on Linux/Chrome OS debian and if Cakewalk was made available then you would have a monopoly in the free daw market.
