I’ve done my research, and apparently Wine can run it pretty well… Until you add third part plug ins. I’m pretty new to Linux since having the steamdeck and I really want nothing to do with windows… I just really want to work on music and I’ve been learning FL for years so I don’t want to switch. I also never find anything as vast as FL with its piano roll, instruments and effects etc.
If you really want to get rid of your dual boot but need Windows, you could set up a virtual machine running Windows. You need a bit of a nicer machine to deal with the overhead, but it’s not so bad as people assume a lot of the time. As long as you don’t need the GPU for what you’re doing, I think it’s even pretty easy to give the VM direct access to the base hardware it needs, which cuts a fair bit of overhead. It may or may not get fairly technical to set up, depending on your hardware, distro, and personal luck, but it might be viable.
Have you tried stuff like WINE? I thought I’d heard of people using FL Studio without much issue, but I may be confusing it with another program.
