I agree with Pappenheimer. I myself think to change the engine just because of the "Linux feature", but by now i didn´t find a alternative suited for me. So: I think it is worth the effort and i really hope that this feature will come.
I can imagine that this will cost lots of work hours, but it wouldn´t just make 3dgs more attractive but also more valueable.
Since i personally aim for a linux-only pc, i hardly would buy A7 just because of this error.
So, i hope that this feature will come one day, that would be also a killerreason for the professional as well.
