I used to create songs in FL Studio when I used Windows, but now I have switched to Fedora. Does FL Studio run well via wine, or I should better pick a Linux-native DAW? How do I handle Windows vst3 plugins? It is possible to switch to native Linux solutions, but I would actually like to preserve my regular workflow within FL. Any relevant tips and advice are welcome

      reaper is excellent for “regular” music recording, etc. but it lacks a bit if you’re into making beats, edm, electro,… then you might wanna look into bitwig, which is basically ableton-like but different and it runs natively on linux (and win & mac). there’s also ardour and a few others that are open source or at least free.

      As someone who is a pretty solidly in the open source territory…

      Reaper is great and I have absolutely purchased a license. I’m not often recording music these days, but I will say that anyone I know who is recording music still either uses reaper or is so apple obsessed they use logic pro and won’t glance in the direction of anything that isn’t an Apple product.

      Mostly live production recordings for them, though a few do studio recordings as well.
