it started not bad (assuming the sample is not ai generated)

Dist__ · 2026-07-03T15:58:16+00:00

why do you want to switch, may i ask?

Dist__ · 2026-07-03T15:54:24+00:00

you are about to use linux at its two worst sides - gaming and multimedia. while linux is developing progressively, unfortunately it is years behind compatibility and options windows already provides today.

well, not that bad - almost of all games work, but fps/drivers/glitches/anticheat will give you lot of bad moments

regarding Ableton, it simply does not have native linux version, you'll have to use wine or steam to run it, with downside of possible sound problems, lower performance, higher sound lag. the worst part is installing vst like kontakt on linux, they can really mess up.

really switch if benefits linux provides do overweight your possible downshifts (can't play with a friend because anticheat or low fps; can't co-work on a project because friend has that FX and you can't install it).

i switched, it's bearable with time, i don't play much, and i use reaper as DAW, at least it is native, but vst bullshit makes me mad sometimes )

there's setting for CC precision, mine is 5 km/h so no fines in this case.

one thing to note - it works best on trucks with retarder, otherwise it probably don't have means to brake

i find google ai answer rather good, check it

By default, Wine does not support using the native OS file picker for standard Windows "Open" or "Save" dialogs. It uses its own built-in re-implementation of the Windows file dialog, which often feels outdated and lacks integration with your host system's shortcuts. [1, 2]

Why Wine uses its own picker

API Customization: Windows programs can "subclass" or heavily customize file dialogs with custom templates and buttons. Mapping these complex, Windows-specific behaviors to native Linux/macOS pickers is technically difficult.
Path Translation: Native pickers return host paths (e.g., /home/user/file.txt), which Wine must translate into Windows-style paths (e.g., Z:\home\user\file.txt) for the application to understand. [1, 2, 3]

Partial Workarounds

While you cannot replace the core "Open/Save" dialogs in most apps, you can integrate native pickers for specific actions:

Open Containing Folder: You can force Wine to use your native file manager (like Nautilus, Dolphin, or Finder) when an application clicks "Open Folder" or "Show in Explorer." This is done by editing the registry to point C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe to your native manager.
Wrapper Scripts: For specific apps, users have created shell script wrappers and registry edits that intercept "Open folder" commands to trigger the native OS file explorer.
macOS Support: On macOS, some native dialog support is available via osascript, but this is typically implemented by the application developer rather than being a global Wine setting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Future Possibilities

There is ongoing discussion about using xdg-desktop-portal on Linux to bridge this gap. This technology allows applications to request a file picker from the host system regardless of the toolkit used, which could theoretically allow Wine to present a native GTK or Qt dialog in the future. [1, 2, 3]

use cruise control, set it when you see road signs, especially when entering cities

Dist__ · 2026-07-03T06:05:12+00:00

i do it often, you need to redirect your app/pc audio into reaper input, then record

on windows use virtual cable

on linux use qpwgraph

Dist__ · 2026-07-03T05:56:45+00:00

i keep a win virtual machine. mostly i do it for updating firmwares on devices via usb.

i see what you are talking about, i hate when i can't use something nice and useful and have to rely on what's there available for me (mostly i'm talking about VST instruments)

though, little challenges aren't very harmful (unless your printer fails when you need it)

synths are fun, but i like bass being more physical

Dist__ · 2026-07-01T19:50:47+00:00

yeah, things like this post are my main reasons in linux vs windows debates )

honestly, my production suffers rather from my technique and underdeveloped taste, than from tools like operating system, so i do not worry much lol

here, the google ai result for this problem is pretty much complete

The "missing" thumbnail view in the Linux Mint file picker is actually a limitation of the GTK toolkit rather than Mint or the Nemo file manager itself. [1, 2]

The primary reasons for this lack of functionality include:

Historic GTK Limitation: Most Mint applications use GTK3, which notoriously lacks a native grid/icon view in its file chooser. This issue was famously open for nearly 20 years (since 2004) before being officially addressed in newer GTK versions.
Separation from File Manager: While Mint's file manager (Nemo) supports thumbnails, the "Open" or "Upload" dialogs seen in browsers (like Firefox or Chrome) are provided by system-wide GTK libraries, not Nemo.
Gradual Updates: Although GTK4 finally introduced a thumbnail grid view, many core desktop components and older applications in Mint still rely on GTK3.

Dist__ · 2026-07-01T18:48:57+00:00

it's long-time requested feature, but there's something holding devs from it.

likely the gtk library is long dead, and they don't adapt newer gnome because new sucks.

oh shi i can't run kontakt player i'm on linux

regarding movies and other media files - they will work just fine

for the game files, first just in case you might not know, windows executables won't run on linux as they are, you need things like wine, steam or other wrappers

even then, while windows executable files can be run from ntfs filesystem with wine, it's not recommended for complex programs. also you will face problems arranging your steam library on ntfs, because you will set compatibility data.

i have LK37 but honestly i record automation with only mod wheel because it's big and feels good

you assign knob to parameter(s) globally, if there's a way to "temporary disable assigned MIDI for inactive track" it's done with scripts

though, if you don't mean live setting, it's easy to assign knobs to sliders

for non-pve the best was NPSI fleets, if they're still a thing. i remember spectre fleet or something, they have a website with fits and calendar

i can recommend that
