There's one thing keeping me from switching to Linux on my PC, it is the lack of support from FL Studio and a lot of VST plugins for music creation. (My experience using Wine has not been very good.) (beehaw.org)

I recently tried to sidechain my kick to my 808 while mixing. And when I opened fruity limiter, most of the UI didn’t render.

There are a lot of freeze when you drag and drop things. Serum doesn’t work when I load it, Pigments & Arturia Lab V blink without stopping when I use them. Purity crashes FL Studio 20.

FL Studio 21 crashes when I use dropdown menus, and when it doesn’t crash, I can’t load any sample because it’s impossible to drag and drop without crashing the thing.

The experience is not so bad on FL20 but gosh, how frustrating it is to be so limited in the plugins you can use…

I had no problem installing them tho.

    Wow, those are some pretty glaring issues. Have you checked your winecfg? I have mine on Windows 10 (and probably make sure yours is too. If it's on XP, change it to 10). What WINE version are you running? (i'm on 8.13)

    If that doesn't fix it then i'm kinda stumped.

    Heard certain Nvidia cards can cause issues (i'm on an AMD rx570). Don't know if it could be related but ye those are quite the rendering issues.

    I’ll check after but if it works you’re a lifesaver!

    Edit: Well. After checking I have the same settings as you, and they look appropriate

    ye this is weird. do you have any other wine packages installed (like mono, gecko, and corefonts?) i remember installing them (and i think .net framework and visual c++ as well) before installing FL Studio.

    if all that fails then idk, i'm just as stumped as you. wine can be a bit hit or miss, especially on certain setups.
