I think this is interesting, but it would be really nice if someone wrote
an OS strictly optimized for music. If it offered enhanced ASIO and VST
support, that would be great, because of all the existing activity and
support for ASIO and VST.

If I'm not mistaken, the VST SDK has some basic support for UNIX, but I've
yet to hear about anyone who has written UNIX software that uses it.

The approach that Linux has taken with VST seems *very* indirect. I'm not a
programmer, but it seems that everything runs on top of various layers of
emulations and "adapter" software. That is to say, it doesn't seem like an
elegant and native implementation of VST at all.

Can't we have a "native" implementation of VST on Linux, and then get some
people to write or port some plugins to native Linux code? That seems best
to me, but like I said, I'm not a programmer.   :)
