The world of music production is dominated by Apple with Windows running a distant second. Thanks to DAWs like Reaper and open source plung-ins constantly being developed, music production on Linux doesn't seem like such a crazy idea anymore.

      I saw that Ableton Live 12 is going to support my old 2015 MBP, which is nice, but it would be so much nicer if we had a Wine/Proton equivalent project for Mac apps. M2 MBPs are nice but it'd be nicer if I could use PC hardware with Linux running Windows and Mac software. Native would be nicest but, baby steps.

    Is there a community or database where people have tested different plugins on Linux either natively or with Wine to see if they can get things working?

      I'll be honest, I'm just starting this journey. My music stuff is still all on Mac.

        No worries, I’m hoping someone with a fire in their soul for Linux music production will come along and give us the answers we seek

    Really? last time I checked Windows was the dominant player in professional music production but I guess trends can change very quickly.

    So there is no real reason preventing Linux to become the domint system at any time.

    I'm actually using Ardour as my daily daw, very powerfull (check my profile if interested in libre music). Consider I made electronic music for many years with proprietary software.
