Just tried FL Studio 12.2 on linux (with wine)...

I'm using an old lenovo thinkpad with ubuntu 14.04 on it. Just for fun I decided to test if I could get FL studio to run.
  • I updated the repository source for wine, to get access to the latest version of wine. After, "wine --version" in the terminal outputs wine 1.9
  • I downloaded the setup file for FL 12.2, ran it.. The installer finished without any issues, to my big surprise!
  • I right clicked the installed .exe file "open with wine launcher"Maybe I won't have to upgrade to windows 10 as I feared.. Maybe I can even skip getting a new laptop.
  • And holy crap, FL opens! But the text is not showing in the menus.
  • I install winetricks, then do "winetricks corefonts" in the terminal to install the microsoft fonts.
  • I open FL studio again with wine. The text is displayed now! I increase buffer settings and decrease the visual effects.
  • Open one of the legacy demo projects. It sounds fine! I hear some buffer over/underruns, but this is an old computer after all.
  • I try exporting an mp3. and.. it works!
This is awesome. I had never envisioned it being THIS easy to get it running. I like using windows, but having the possibility to use FL on linux as well is a great benefit. Especially for those with older computers laying around. Like me. I'm sure I'll encounter problems as I do more testing, but it looks very very promising so far.
