That does sound like a great future !
Of course for 99 % of the possible users (unlike the very Linux aware poster in this thread) it's mission critical that VSTs can be installed without any additional hassle. Otherwise they will not even do a test driver with Reaper on Linux. It needs to be as perfectly supported as the 64Bit / 32Bit bridge in Reaper. Of course this also
is possible by using JBridge externally. But most end-users will decline trying that.
OTOH, a similar barrier would be the unavailability of Linux drivers for Audio hardware. (I, myself, do have a NI Audio 6. Will I be able to use it with Linux/Reaper ? ) But supposedly Cockos can't do much regarding that issue. Hen/Egg again...

I recon that by far the most possible users of Linux Reaper will be converters and not newbies. So allowing them to use what they are accustomed to is mission critical.
