My main music machine is a Mac and my main everything else system is a Lenovo laptop with Pop!_OS. I would like to have the option to play with ideas on my Linux machine instead of having to switch systems when I feel inspired.
I already own the full version of Bitwig Studio butvI would love to throw some must have, Linux compatible, VST plugins into the mix.
Free sample sources would also be much appreciated.
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.

FL Studio works fine in Linux if u install it thru Wine
I use Bitwig Studio as my Linux native DAW.
I'm no musician or whatever, more a hobbyist regarding that. I've used lmms to compose some tunes. Is Bitwig somewhat comparable?
Bitwig was created by some of the people that built Abelton Live. Bitwig is considered by many to be the best of them all and easier to pick up by beginners. I plan to try it on Linux before I decide if I make the jump from Abelton.
I tried it and it worked fine, but didn't try to install any 3rd party plugins. Do they work too?
Been thinking about setting it up again if so.
Yup, I use Fabfilter and native instruments stuff
Amazing! I know what I'm doing tonight!
