I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

          Never used wineboat but something to be aware of is VMs usually can interact with peripherals natively (as if they were the host computer) but this is almost always disabled by default as people usually use VMs to isolate stuff.

          So you may need to adjust options

      I know this sounds silly but have you tried running it through steam for proton? Not saying it will work or anything but it might? Might also need to install stuff in wine through proton tricks to get it to work (it’s not that bad, you just pick what thing to download from a searchable list. Just have to know what it needs.)

      Same but with virtual instruments. Almost no native compatibility and emulation is made basically impossible by the fact that you open them through another piece of software
