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.

I'm back again with another question: Wine/Proton (lemmy.ca)

A few days ago I asked about taking the big leap, but I use my PC for work in the arts (voice over, music, digital art, etc).

I've been playing around with Bitwig to replace Cubase and ideally Adobe Audition. It's... a learning curve but I'm willing to make it work if I can get everything about my PC lined up with Linux.

I then discovered Wine and Proton. So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux? I read they can use vst files with a bit of work, and people have had some success with Cubase, though Adobe is still right out but I'd love to get away from Adobe anyway. Also games??

Is there a difference between Wine and Proton or are they basically just different programs that do the same thing? The big leap might be more feasible than I thought if they do what I think they do.

Edit: This seems like it could suit most of my needs. I need to do more research into it but you guys answered my questions. Appreciate you all taking the time, thanks!

Side note: yabridge may be of help for VSTs

Also, another DAWci recommend is Reaper

The combo Reaper + yabridge works relatively well for me, did not get all my VSTs back but the basics are working.

It struggled with my NeuralDSP VSTs and BiasFX last I tried

Comments on Reddit seem to suggest that UI problems with NeuralDSP plugins seems to be solved with some onstallation of DirectX libraries (? Not sure about the technical details) :

was able to fix it just yesterday after seeing someone suggest this:

install WineGUI

use it to install DirectX 9/10/11 and DirectX 12 packages

This instantly fixed the GUI not being responsive, tested with the new Nolly X

That may help! Thank you!
