There's a lot of confirmation bias floating around here. The reason professional design people can't use linux is because the adobe suite (or its equivalent) isn't available on linux. Linux has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years so most of the old arguments are starting to become outdated. A very popular argument among those who dismiss linux is that games don't run on it, this was true a few years ago but now that Valve has started actively pushing developers to include linux and driver support is better (much better!) Linux has suddenly turned into a very viable gaming OS ( case in point: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/left-4-dead-2-faster-on-linux-than-windows-says-valve/1100-6390089/ ). While it is true that there exist distros for people who like to fiddle with configs it is also true that there exist distros for people who never want to open a terminal in their lifetime. It's gotten to the point where linux enthusiasts are complaining about the OS being too beginner friendly and not having enough 'fiddling' available ( see: http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Unity-Linux-GUI-Controversy-and-Linux-Mints-Decision-Stick-Gnome-2 ). What does any of this have to do with you guys? There are many linux users who want linux to become more mainstream and therefore would contribute to a kickstarter campaign, even though they don't need the software. More users means more support so if they can pay 40$ and make it so that there is one fewer reason not use linux. Then many of them would do so without hesitation. Now that I think about it the last missing element for linux to become a viable OS is proper graphic design software so it would be HUGE if you guys would make a port. Besides there is no real risk involved in running a kickstarter, worst case scenario it flops and you get some extra publicity. The most likely result is that you get loads of new customers.
