Wine 2.0 released

Re:Wine 2.0 released by EamonnMR on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @04:26PM (#13475667)

One I can think of right off the bat is gaming, especially old games that might never be ported to Linux (or, for that matter, remain compatible with newer versions of Windows). Also, for a while (before they DRM'd it) I ran the Reason DAW on a linux box. They didn't have windows 7 drivers for my MIDI keyboard at the time, but they did have Linux drivers somehow.

Ableton runs pretty well from wine too. Almost no messing around

I'd imagine the main issue is VSTs.

Some VSTs work flawlessly, others can be problematic and others do not work at all. You need to check them one by one, but surely a lot of them work. (edit): VSTs incompatibility doesn't just affect WINE but Windows itself from version to version. If you take a look at Reaper (reaper.fm), it has some options to run VSTs in various compatibility modes. This paired with WINE's ability to fake a different Windows version "emulation" should help with more problematic VSTs.

There are some VST bridge programs that use WINE underneath. I haven't actually used any yet so I can't attest to their usefulness.

I don't actually use too many VSTs. I can generally make everything I need to make with the built in plug ins

I really want to start using bitwig (it seems like Ableton, but better), but I can't afford it. In all honesty, I'm using a cracked version of Ableton that I found man years ago, but I can't really find (or securely test) bitwig cracks.

I am on Mac OS and the Mac OS version of Minetest seems to have some view movement issues--maybe it's a touchpad issue with that version, I dunno. So I tried running the Windows version in Wine and it's completely solved the problem, the game seems to run great.
