I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution? (lemmy.world)

I use Ableton with Bottles (wine) with VSTs too, like Serum.

    I wanted to get into Music with LMMS, but habe not succeeded in using VSTs via wine. How does one do this? I cannot wrap my head around it :(

    If you want to use Ableton, then Install it with wine, if you sandbox the prefix copy the VSTs inside the prefix and use them thru Ableton.

    Some VSTs may not work or could have some graphical glitches. For example with Serum sometimes some widgets gets black until I pass hover with cursor. There is a fix for this which didn't work for me that's about disabling "d2d1.dll" and installing "gdiplus".

    Otherwise you can use a Linux native DAW and use VSTs with wine. Check yabridge and LinVst.
