Games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine/Proton

It takes a stable ABI and a single target for apps. Don’t expect music production to ever show up for gnu/linux. Maybe Android

Bitwig is available for Linux, but I don't know what the limitations are.

A lot of VSTS aren't going to work even with tricks like WINE.

They often have complicated auth systems, etc.

I don't really want to learn a new DAW.

A lot of people give high praise to Yabridge, but I myself haven't tried using it for my existing VST library and just found alternative plugins that work with linux.

The paranoia audio devs have with piracy is insane. Ironically I think the worse your DRM is, the more your product should be pirated :)

It's often 20% DRM and 80% marketing.

Ohh cool, this plugin is "free". Looks like I have to register for an account and install a bunch of unrelated crap I really don't want.

The up selling never stops.

Then again. 30 years ago a lot of these trucks were straight up impossible without spending tens of thousands.
