  • Bitwig has a native Linux version. Similar workflow to Ableton, but IMO better. It was my preferred DAW when I was still using proprietary software.

    Zrythm tries to be an open source equiv to both Ableton and Bitwig. You might like it or you might not. Either way, Ableton should still work fine on WINE, and it has in my experience.

    The Windows VSTs are the real sticker here. If using a native Linux DAW, you will need to use yabridge, Carla, or similar to bridge the Windows plugins to a Linux host using WINE. When using a DAW through WINE, you don’t need to use a bridge.




  • Ableton + every VST I’ve tried works great in WINE. Can’t comment on the other stuff, although I think Fusion360 is on Linux. I know Autodesk ports some of their software to be natively available on Linux, like Maya. Not sure if Fusion360 is a part of that, though.

    VS Code is on Linux. Probably not what you’re looking for when looking for a .NET IDE, though. Microsoft did make .NET core open source and available on Linux, though, along with the Mono project, which was originally a reverse engineering of .NET, so .NET development is possible on Linux, but I get why you use Windows for it, especially for legacy stuff.

    IIRC Adobe software only has problems running due to the DRM they include. If someone perhaps found a way to run the software without the DRM, it could potentially work.
