Everything about windows is misleading. There are windows settings that require doing some sort of an windows inception where you open one settings to go deeper into an older version of the same settings to go deeper into an even older version of the same settings until you reach something that was designed for Windows 98 and actually works. With every newer windows version the settings become only more and more convoluted. Thank god I've switched to Linux as my daily driver.

I mean, could you trust a company that created a Linux container subsystem for Windows and named it Windows Subsystem for Linux to name things correctly?

Are you tired of winning yet

Sir, they hit the second penguin!

You’ll need to wait for Wine 12 Copilot Plus edition featuring Clippy.

There is currently no way to remove copilot in Wine 11

So the * in N*SYNC stood for a T all this time?

cost is one of my least concerns with win11 nowadays

Fallout 3

I remember playing Fallout 3 through wine on my Macbook Pro ages ago, it worked ok but crashed often. Well, given the circumstances it was more than good enough.

this is always going to be the toughest as the developer is known for not wanting their things to work or be compatible even with standards they publish.

While I don't specifically know about version 11 (EDIT: now I do!), but I've been running windows daw + vst's on wine 9-10.?? for ages. Using Renoise + bunch of different vst's (mix of vst2 and vst3), all of them seem to work just fine. I did have to install dxvk to the wineprefix to get the ui of some plugins to work, but they do work fine(ish) with it.

Now, the thing I have NOT tested is ilok drm. So far I've managed to do with plugins which don't use it.

I see wine 11 is already in my distro's testing repos. Aggressive waiting starts.

edit: for clarification, preset dropdown menu's from one specific plugin vendor (solemntones) vst's needs to be click/dragged the right way, otherwise they seem to not work. Bit annoying, but otherwise my plugins work.

edit: seems to work just as well on wine 11. But sample size = me & my vst/vsti's.

really? my games just work. 3 years ago i still had to invest time into debugging/tweaking, just last month i installed 3 random games from my steam library and they all just worked out of the box.
