Capture One On Linux -- No Competition

I've been a Linux and Windows user since about 2016. The reason why I haven't fully switched yet is because of the unavailability of certain software programs on Linux such as Capture One. Linux has had a huge jump in numbers over the last year and I only see that increasing with Windows dropping support for Windows 10 and the push for AI built into both Mac and Windows. I am working on just fully switching to Linux as I'm sure a lot of people are.... That said there are no good photo editing programs on Linux. If you guys released a Linux version of your software the Linux community would eat it up and there is basically no competition. Neither Adobe or Affinity have Linux versions of their software.

Please develop Capture One for Linux!

Current workaround

Dual boot into windows for only this app. Going to migrate to a VM in Linux for windows, but wouldn't have to if Capture One had a Linux version of their software.

    Huge. Would love this. The entire Linux community would be all up in this. Capture One is the only reason I boot into Windows as well since Davinci Resolve is supported on Linux. SteamOS Desktop PC is coming soon as well, this year.. 2025. As soon as SteamOS properly drops, hundreds of thousands will start switching to Linux based.. if Capture One or similar software gets ahead of this, they'll be the first and surely the GO-TO software for editing - we all just want to get away from garbage Microsoft/Windows because we see the bigger picture/issues from their history and what's on the horizon. Personally it'd do it out of principle, but if it's purely about profit, this still is going to make sense in the very near future.
