I have long wished that Canon would port DPP over to Linux. And DPP is LONG overdue for a clean sheet rebuild so this would be an excellent time to clean it up AND port it to other operating systems. But I am NOT holding my breath on this one. I bought a Canon 1D Mark II back in 2005 and started using DPP and 21 years later it still has the same "memory leak" issue it had when I first used it and after an hour or so of processing the memory consumed by DPP grows into the 8 to 10 GB range. With 256 GB of memory per CPU, the workstation never comes close to running out of available RAM with DPP however the program just becomes sluggish as it grows in memory use and I have to exit and restart every 60 to 90 minutes during long editing sessions (I often shoot one to two thousand images at a sports event with a pair of 1DX III bodies). Once restarted, it is fast again until it gains too much weight.
I use a pair of HP dual CPU workstations and both came from HP with both Linux and Windows installed but they spend the great majority of their time in Linux which is so much faster and more stable than Windows without the overhead of Microsoft slop. But DPP requires me to boot into Windows; running it under a compatibility box in Linux slows it enough that it negates the advantage of using a very fast dual CPU workstation.
