You might try asking your question over at the eevblog forum. I have a Rigol scope and when I wanted to use a linux host I found a driver for it over there. So in terms of host side options there is quite a bit. I think this was the one I used[1]. For myself the cost and performance of the hardware usually outweighs anything else. I also have an analog discovery 2 (diligent) and it seems like they have some open source offering as well[2] (which I haven't tried). They do have a linux client for their host side which was good enough for me.
