Switch to Linux!

I've gotten every single Windows VST I've used working on Linux with WINE. Some of them require extra work (Serum and anything needing Native Access specifically), but they still work.
I've also tried both Ableton and FL Studio in WINE, and they both work fine as well.
Adobe suite is something I don't have experience with, though.
Ableton working in Wine you say...? Thank you for sharing, as that would be excellent to try! :)
Yeah. I'd still recommend Ableton users try out Bitwig, though, regardless of OS. It's a fantastic DAW that also happens to have native Linux support.
But yeah, Ableton should work fine with WINE, along with your VSTs. Make sure you use WINEASIO along with JACK. Pipewire works, but I've notoced that it eats up more resources than just using JACK directly, similar to using ASIO in Windows.
That's awesome! Thank you for the rundown, I'll save this comment for the day that I get to making the jump :) It might be a while until I can, but it would be nice to jump back over to the comfortable Linux environment again :)
No problem. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Hmm interesting. I'm a Cubase user with many steinberg plugins and some Arturia stuff. When I googled it, I didn't seem to find much information about Linux support. But maybe I should give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Can't hurt! Might run into a speedbump or two where you have to do a DLL override or something, but you might get lucky and not have to do anything.
I haven't tried Cubase, though.
