You’re probably aware, but Bitwig studio runs natively on Linux. And tools like yabridge can allow you to run many VST plugins as well. Though it remains a bit of a hassle compared to Windows. I’ve for instance lost access to a NI plugin because their new all-in-one installer/verification program won’t work on Linux

I’ve been using bitwig on Linux for hobby production for about a year now. It works but it’s fairly buggy, with very sluggish controls and more frequent plugin crashes. I despise windows so won’t go back, but I’d also love to see continued improvement. One big step would be for more plugin developers to release CLAP versions.

Ableton kinda runs under Bottles. 🤷♂️

Reaper is native Linux support too. I’m very very much a novice in audio production, but using yabridge you can import most plugin models as well. I don’t know that getting something like neural DSP is possible, at least stable though.

Reaper, Studio One (although we’ll see what Fender does to it, we all remember the Gibson Cakewalk fiasco), and Bitwig are all native. Kind of depends on what your workflow is and what plugins you’re using. Yabridge is workable for a ton of stuff and not difficult.

Yeah, as does Reaper, though I really want a modern version of Cubase to work.

Can you define kinda? Or do you have an article you can point me to?

It works but there can be graphical issues that will force you to restart.
