Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Linux
I'm sorry to everyone if my little comments precipitated the demise. For those out there looking for what to try next, https://ubuntustudio.org/

Linux has a ways to go yet. Repaer is working on a Native Linux version. I'm hoping it's ready by 2020, Windows 7 EOL, when I will stop using windows, unless I keep it going offline. The problem is drivers, VSTs for example don't come with Linux drivers, because so few people use it. It's my dream, to some day be able to leave Windows altogether. I do all my surfing on Linux now. I only still use Windows for music, and to keep up to date with it so I can fix my wife's computer.

I would love to use Linux, but working around a multitude of hardware issues depending on your individual setup is a poor option and will for sure lead to issues (Especially if you plan on recording people other than yourself).
I'm switching to Mac, I'm sick of spending more time working my way through interfaces and settings VS actually creating music.

Many plug-ins work in Wine. And there are wrappers which make them in Linux native DAWs. That works not worse (but also not better) then BitBridges, since they run in separate processes (can that be changed? I hope to fine time to check that...) At first I was glad to see Tracktion is still moving on Linux. But they have not managed to make Waveform 8 to work good, just some stupid bugs, easy to fix. Instead they have made it WORSE in latest beta version, not mentioning "calling home" EVERY time you load the DAW/plug-ins... Then they have declared the resources goes into Waveform 9 development. I mean something in me predict the same consequences as with Sonar (most important, Tracktion has problems with plug-ins on Windows as well, I guess some multi-threading problem in the JUCE, but they can not find it). And now I have to think to which DAW I can bind my AZ Controller  I know other DAWs have better coverage of control surfaces, but I so used to have a possibility to do fancy things on the fly, without Python or other scripts...

I appreciated all the effort you put into making controllers more usable in sonar.

If you have a class compliant interface, there are far fewer issues here. I do understand if you use software to manipulate your interface and that doesn't work, it blows. For example, RME DigiCheck and RME TotalMix don't work on Linux. But the RME UCX itself works wonderfully.
