Not my experience, sorry.
I have bought Reaper years ago and the Windows experience was flawless.
In order to even get audio, I need to launch Reaper via terminal using “pw-jack reaper” otherwise I have either garbage audio or too much latency.
My VST plugins (iZotope RX 11, iZotope VEA, Arturia Keylab, Bias FX) wouldn’t run via yabridge, haven’t figured out why yet.
I assume it has something to do with activating licenses or whatever crap like that. The entire “pro audio” industry and their overbearing licensing and “security” schemes can go suck a duck. For real.
When you get deep into niche stuff like this, Linux is such a pain in the ass. I like it for casual use and even some gaming but I’m not going to lie, a lot of hobbyist stuff is just so much easier on Mac or Windows. Which makes sense since Linux isn’t in widespread use by normies and also isn’t a desktop-first OS.
