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.

Using yabridge?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'll try that as soon as I can.

I don't know the reason why I didn't use it the last time I tried ( about 2 years ago?), maybe I didn't find anyone mentioning yabridge at the time (I never asked, I just searched), maybe another reason.

But now I remember I ended up using Carla with an extension that let it use Windows plugins, which I would advise against.

If I get the VSTs that mean the most to me running well enough on Linux, then there's nothing keeping me on Windows

Yabridge is the way to go. I used to use LinVST in the past but with very mixed results. With yabridge, ~90% of my plugins work perfectly, including Native Instruments plugins which have always been my favourites.

As I own Komplete 14 Ultimate that's very good to hear! Thanks!

Just know that Wine >9.4 is currently bugged and will not work with yabridge. There is a discussion on Github about installing 9.4 and holding it from updating.
