What is wine primarily used for today?
-
Gaming, as a basis for Valves Proton.
-
Cool. I thought it's all Steam right now? Is that a stupid question?
-
Steam uses Proton under the hood which is based on wine. From the repo
Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this.

Cheers!

I use wine for FFXIV. proton kinda works but not for my case. Certain mods use a bleeding edge version of dotnet and this version is not present in proton.

You may also want to run non-steam games. I'm still new to linux and haven't tried that yet but I think I will need to for my GoG library.

+1 ,but you can always add external games to Steam. I tried it once, and it worked. However, I prefer GOG over Steam because of its DRM-free policy and also prefer clean Wine over Proton, as I can report bugs directly to Wine bugtracker. I have some Steam games installed on Wine. Yes, I had to first install Steam inside Wine prefix and only after that install the games. Additionally, there is always pirated software, which I won't add to Steam.

Proton won't run BG3MM for me, so I have to use regular Wine.

Running Windows VSTs (virtual instruments) in a DAW like reaper for making music.

Has yabridge updated recently? My version still has me pinning wine at 9.something
-
Yabridge is pinned to 9.21 because of changes to Wine, that broke UI interactivity for most VSTs. There is a branch where it's being worked on, but the main branch recommends to pin the older Wine

Im struggling to switch to Linux for music production. I dont like ardour, reaper works fine but no Windows vsts... even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess. Compatibility with old projects (Studio one, there is a linux beta but needs wayland, i use Mint so another thing to change) is another difficulty. Of course none of this isnt solvable somehow but i dont think we are there yet offering Producers an comfortable switch.

Honestly, because I'm not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴☠️
I know that's not a solution for some, but until there's more Linux native VST's, it's a viable path for those willing to take it.

Wine still works perfectly for WoW, it always worked great with it aswell, even back in the WoTLK days
