Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

In my distrobox bitwig set up with Wine 9.21 I am using the following with no issues

  • Melda (various including MSoundFactory)
  • Native instruments (including Reaktor and Massive X)
  • unfiltered audio / plugin alliance including battalion
  • psychic Modulation
  • all arturia
  • all Valhalla dsp
  • Adam Szabo viper and jp6k
  • lese smear And a bunch of others with no problems.

Usable with some issues

  • Newfangled audio - plugins work and sound great but GUI hangs or is extremely laggy

Not working at all

  • some eventide plugins
  • all aberrant DSP
  • all UVI

This is all under a unified wine prefix - o might try playing with different prefixes for different plugins and see if I can't fix some of the above or some of the QoL issues

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
