As a Linux user who wants to get into music production but know little about it, what are the positive developments I can hope for as a result of this? My understanding is that VST modules are quite hairy on Linux today.
As an end-user, this will mean nothing to the vast majority of existing users. We still need the plugin provider to actually create linux-specific build artifacts. Until then, Yabridge + Windows versions of the plugins is the only real choice. These do work quite well today though
Isn’t VST pretty much a wild west anyway? I wonder how much is this really gonna help to standardize the tools/plugins

The entire SDK is programmed in CMake! 😱
… okay, it’s git submodules

Does this mean VSTs will have better Linux compatibility or is that implementation-dependent?
I am a complete noob and don’t know how to use it on linux but it sounds awesome!
