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.

At most, you might be able to get midi mode to work (if you scrounge the internet for experimental and old reverse engineered scripts.) But almost certainly not the core Maschine functionality (ie - the main reason for buying maschine in the first place).
Even if you can get it to work none of it will be supported and you're always at risk of an update rendering things inoperable.
It's worth noting that only the old Native Access installer runs in wine (with coaxing). The newer one does not, and from what I've read, the break points are features that will never be supported in wine.
Wine is clever, but it's always an incomplete game of whackamole. A workaround at best.
The whole thing is truly frustrating.
(your luck may be better than mine of course!)
Well this doesn't sound appealing! And this just speaks to what I was trying to explain to the person at the start of this thread... Linux may be growing rapidly but there's still giant holes in the driverset etc for many tasks.
I think prob the best solution will be to perform a hard reset / clean on the laptop, remove any bloatware, keep it offline once I've installed necessary updates / plugins, and only have live PA software installed.
