Unfortunately I can't disagree on that POV, as there is no sign from NI to even consider taking a look at Linux, or other Archs than X86, which seems rather short sighted, regarding the rapid development with ARM hardware and the fact that even M$ provides Windows (now: IOT, already testabel: Desktop) for ARM.
But there is Open Office as a Contender for M$ Word files on the RasPi ...

That of course is correct, but the scripting power Kontakt provides ways to do realistic sound that are not (yet) possible with SF (see e.g.
https://samplemodeling.com/en/products.php, and if you like songs I provided in the "Music/Collaboration" subforum. (And obvious the number of available complex libraries is unbeatable.)
