Im struggling to switch to Linux for music production. I dont like ardour, reaper works fine but no Windows vsts… even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess. Compatibility with old projects (Studio one, there is a linux beta but needs wayland, i use Mint so another thing to change) is another difficulty. Of course none of this isnt solvable somehow but i dont think we are there yet offering Producers an comfortable switch.

Honestly, because I’m not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴☠️
I know that’s not a solution for some, but until there’s more Linux native VST’s, it’s a viable path for those willing to take it.
