Re: Work the problem?
"Waiting for the 'community' to build something that exactly matches their requirements is never going to happen".
Funnily enough, all my company's specialist software is written for Windows, yet runs quite happily on the Linux desktop. Firebird replaces MS SQL Server for the database, but even this may not be necessary if MS releases the Linux version in 2017 as proposed.
So no need to wait in many cases unless the software uses specific Windows hardware drivers.
