Reaper is great, but unfortunately I've never been able to get my VSTs properly working on linux, especially ones with a full GUI like a lot of drum vsts do. It's literally the only reason I still dual-boot windows on that machine.

I get that, there is a list of Linux friendly vsts out there that work well. I think they have a link to the list, but I don't really use drums in my workflow so couldn't give you any examples unfortunately. I did have to go into windows for some work stuff where I needed a specific vst though, definitely understand the issue.
