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.
Have you tried using yabridge? https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge#configuration
It’s not perfect, some plugins still have issues. But most of the time it works really well. I use this with reaper and find music production is totally doable in Linux
In my distrobox bitwig set up with Wine 9.21 I am using the following with no issues
Usable with some issues
Not working at all
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
I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.
