I would be very happy to use Reaper on Linux. In fact I would greatly like to dedicate a Linux box for it.

But for me to make Reaper usable I would need to be able to load VSTs by "Native Instruments", "Sample Modeling" etc. These companies only support Windows and Mac. Hence Reaper would need to come with the appropriate Wine-lib stuff to be able to run the Windows (64 Bit) versions of these VSTs (including their GUI) and to allow doing the necessary licensing procedures for such commercial products.

(Muse Receptor shows that this in fact is possible !)

Of course Linux drivers for appropriate audio and Midi interfaces are necessary as well.
