hey guys, thanks for the help with the Tone2 / WINE stuff.
I have never used wineprefixes or bottles or playonlinux but I've been using wine/wine-devel/wine-staging in a variety of distros and configurations since about 2014. I'm still not very advanced but I'm kind of afraid of breaking my WINE. Last time I tinkered with one of my WINE's somehow I ended up with 2 or three installed at the same time and the system and I were both confused and couldn't function right.
But I get what you are saying about winetricks fixing the missing DLL's or putting the better ones in there.
One of my problems was that I had disabled 3D rendering in WINECFG. Turns out that it's really needed by some VST's. But nonetheless, I still had a few other problems. Some got fixed by hiding the wineversion from the OS / WinDOS items, and deselecting the wine-staging experimental options.
I may give it another try since you guys all kinda mentioned the same thing.
One nice thing is that my system stabilized after I got rid of some other items from other designers.
I'm only using one wine now, not like on the other distro.
The other thing that was wierd for a while was having my distro's Reaper installed at the same time as the AppImage Reaper.
The desktop system would mix them up with each other and I'd get two different edition of preferences for Reaper. OMG so frustrating having to maintain double REAPER prefs. But I got that sussed out finally. Actually, I had 3 sets if you include the Windows version via Wine LOL.
Overall, I'm happy with the tone2 demos and might actually purchase one of them if I can get the visuals to work fine.
Their sound quality and interface is awesome.
Last but not least, I wanted to let you guys know that lately, it seems like some of the previously instable Linux distros are getting more stable despite this being one of the worst years in history in terms of Linux / Windows / MacOS security/malware concerns.
I use all three kinds of computers from time to time. Sometimes at libraries too.
I distro hop a lot, and I went through about 8 different distros and other variations of DE until I settled on my current one. I don't think we ought to always reveal our OSes, though, because online lurkers could know too much how to mess us up if we give up too much system (audit-like) info. Some might say that's paranoid, but I've had hacker / security friends show me what they know about other people's distant systems remotely, and we're too much like sitting ducks if we reveal too much too them. So peace be with you guys and us all.
Thanks for being helpful.
