I used to create songs in FL Studio when I used Windows, but now I have switched to Fedora. Does FL Studio run well via wine, or I should better pick a Linux-native DAW? How do I handle Windows vst3 plugins? It is possible to switch to native Linux solutions, but I would actually like to preserve my regular workflow within FL. Any relevant tips and advice are welcome
There are two official installation methods for Bitwig: the DEB file (which is used for Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu/Mint) and Flatpak (which is used for basically every other Linux distribution).
While you can install Bitwig on Fedora via Flatpak, Yabridge will not work that way (unless things have changed in recent years). You will be able to install Yabridge and any Windows VSTs, but Bitwig will just not actually see them. There is some issue with how Flatpak sandboxes its applications that makes it so they are not able to access VSTs that are installed in the system through Yabridge. You can tinker around with permissions and whatnot using Flatseal and often resolve issues like this, but I did not have any luck doing that to fix my Bitwig/Yabridge problems.
This repo below has a tool that helps in creating a Bitwig installer for Fedora. It converts the official DEB file into an RPM file and installs the necessary prerequisite packages. If you install Bitwig this way, using this RPM file, Bitwig is able to see and use the VSTs that you install using Yabridge.
