Plugins should be easy to use and pretty painless thanks to yabridge. Also just running reaper fully on wine is fine option with a ñn asio bridge to JACK. I tried it once just to play around and was impressed at how easy and performant was. Shame in the maschine hardware, this is the only thing I could find about that https://github.com/wrl/maschine.rs I also got triggered by win11 to switch to Linux half a year ago and couldn’t be happier on endeavour os, no problems so far on the music production side,even with heavy drm’d plug ins. Work flow s also much better, as I can run higher sample count with lower latency than windows thanks to pipewire.
