If someone like this thing
as long as i can get a linux port eventually
I bet someone will have it running on Linux within a week.
There are winamp clones on Linux, have been since the 90s, and they work with the Minus sound systems. Nobody will care about the actual Winamp (which doesn’t).
There are dozens of first-person shooters but people love porting Doom to every device. Winamp is memes and nostalgia, I would bet that people would port it just for fun.
Doom gets ported because it has extremely efficient code written in low-level language so it’s easy to port and runs well even on potatoes.
There literally no point to put in all the work to port Winamp to a completely different sound system and to have none of its plugins work, when there are Linux clones that already work, have their own plugin ecosystem, and can use Winamp skins.
If they use a FOSS license there’s a non-zero chance someone will bother in spite of all that, just for fun. But if it’s not FOSS that takes all the fun out of it.
It really kicks the llama’s ass
