LMMS was never mentioned to me by my producer homies on Linux; I’m actually amazed that one looks FL Studio adjacent and now I’m kinda side-eyeing my folks like ‘the fuck, I know a couple of y’all run Mint in your downtime’; experimenting with that might actually give me a reason to stand up another Mint VM. Last I tried Ardour and Bitwig, though, they both felt somewhere between GarageBand and Ableton; and I just kinda bounced off 'em the same way I did Ableton.
It is heartening to see more VST support in the space though, that’s one less thing to worry about when I finally do have good reason to permanently switch over. (I can’t imagine losing my collection of plugins; like, it’s been years. If I had to start over from pure square one collecting new plugins, it’d break me.)
Yeah you’re probably stuck on Windows then if you need that specific software and those specific plugins. But WINE keeps getting better too so who knows, maybe FL Studio will work “good enough” for you in another couple of years.

I am praying on it.
