  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • Native Linux audio plugins are frustratingly uncommon. I'm gradually trying to replace my Windows plugins with Linux native ones but it's hard to do sometimes. My thing lately has been building my own replacements with plugdata.

  • So I recently reinstalled Linux on my machine but hadn't bothered to reinstall Analog Lab, so I just did that now to confirm it still works. It was really easy.

    From their website I got the installer, and ran Analog Lab V Setup.exe with Wine. I went through the setup wizard just like you would on Windows, and then manually moved the vst file from the Wine directories into my normal vst location (~/.vst). After this, I generated the .so file with yabridge. This is also a really simple process. If you are using yabridge for the first time, you need to tell it where your plugins are:

    $ yabridgectl add path/to/vst

    After that, generate the .so files:

    $ yabridgectl sync

    Once this is done, your DAW of choice should be able to find and open the plugin. For me, Analog Lab V opened without issue and prompted me for my account info. Here's Analog Lab V on my machine:

    Edit: I forgot to mention my copy is legit and it activated no problem.

  • Are you familiar with yabridge? It can take a windows vst (.DLL) and create a Linux counterpart (.so) that daws can scan and open normally.

    In my experience, it works pretty much perfectly about 80% of the time, and the remaining 20% are buggy but useable, or rarely completely broken. I don't have Arturia's V Collection, but I have Analog Lab 5 and that runs without bugs. If they are built with similar technology, then you might expect V Collection to work as well.

  • Don't all the big publishers do this though, or is Elsevier especially bad?

  • Neat. Another paper reviewing fungal bioluminescence just came out on New year's eve, and according to which there are 132 bioluminescent species known to date. More than I realized!

  • It's easy to confuse the two because of how morphologically simple they are. Fun fact (or not depending on how much of a nerd you are), fungi that produce sticky droplets of spores on long stalks like this are often dispersed by arthropods, such as mites or springtails, which bump into the spore droplets as they walk along.

  • Yabridge is the way to go. I used to use LinVST in the past but with very mixed results. With yabridge, ~90% of my plugins work perfectly, including Native Instruments plugins which have always been my favourites.
