(LINUX) Those running FL with Wine, any tips?

I'm a Linux user of about 4 years, and have been running FL Studio on linux for about that long. I've been running it through a mostly unmodified Wine this entire time (only difference is including allfonts!). I've been looking around the forums for a while and have seen some varied ways of running it, like bottles.

Main thing I'm wondering, what do you guys recommend for VST rendering support? Some plugins already work just fine, and some just have flickering (this is fine to me!). The only real issue to me is with a few select plugins - the Halley Labs plugins (https://msx.horse/ct.php) ive tested (E.G. Pseudopolygon, bufferbytes) have all of their text missing, and have a weird issue where any time something changes, it will flicker the change over and over again, forever... Kerovee is especially strange - looking at the UI at all crashes FL entirely, but it still works if you have an FST that includes it. (as long as you don't ever look at it. SCP-096, is that you?)

If theres nothing to help this, thats fine, lol. Either way still happy with how it runs overall. I've used renoise before, but FL is so easy its hard for me away from it :D
