Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever
fluxx@lemmy.world 2 days agoAFAIK there is no reason why vst companies wouldn’t produce linux builds, vst has been opened for Linux for a long time now, they just need to port it. iLok should also be possible, though I personally hate it, but I’m not a pro.

Yeah I think there are a few Linux compiled VSTs out there but IIRC there’s very little host support for them in native Linux, let alone into a host running under Wine. CLAP is probably what we should be banking on tbh since it was designed with Linux support in mind from the start.
I’m also not a big fan of iLok or any similar DRM, but if they’re going to enforce draconian licensing restrictions anyway, being able to move my key between machines and use all my licenses is actually a pretty valuable feature. Compared that to (let’s say Waves) stuff that will only let me license it on a single machine, and limits the number of times you can remote-revoke to a couple of times a year.
