Windows 11 Pro will soon require a Microsoft Account during initial setup

Gaming is not so bad on Linux but I wish I'd never bought any pro audio plugins for my home recordings. It's going to be a colossal waste of money and unfinished recording projects when I decide to get rid of Windows for good.

You can always try something like this: https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

It may not work for VST plugins with certain DRMs though.

Update: I see that bepzi was 1 hour ahead of me. I did not see it when I refreshed the page, only after I replied.

If your plugins are VST2/VST3, then I can wholeheartedly recommend yabridge as a tool for using Windows plugins on Linux.
