My main music machine is a Mac and my main everything else system is a Lenovo laptop with Pop!_OS. I would like to have the option to play with ideas on my Linux machine instead of having to switch systems when I feel inspired.

I already own the full version of Bitwig Studio butvI would love to throw some must have, Linux compatible, VST plugins into the mix.

Free sample sources would also be much appreciated.

      How well does yabridge work? I own a metric fuckton of VST plugins.

      That said, I might keep my Linux system as a place to play with FOSS plugins, but I am still curious.

        I use it for spitfire labs, ott, and delay lama (very important) and all work great. There are occasional crashes when messing with parameters, but usually those don’t happen more then once. I haven’t noticed any performance issues.

        Reasonable well.

        Getting plugins to install is often a big hurdle, if they are working, they work. However I think performance suffers alot. Didn’t try it on any bigger synths yet tho.

        Might depend on what DAW you use but I found it abit tedious to setup with Ardour, but after that it worked perfectly with the VSTs I was running on Windows, mainly Amplitube 5.

    Surge XT, it’s LV2 but still awesome

    Also I’m a zynaddsubfx / yoshimi die hard. Not for everyone but it can do almost everything if you can live with 8bit automation parameters
