The yabridge plugin wrapper was recently updated, and has helped lots of linux users with the more finicky windows plugins, and it's easy to use, just add whatever vst paths like,
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/VstPlugins"
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Common Files/VST3"
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Steinberg/VSTPlugins"
yabridgectl add /home/me/.wine/drive_c/"Program Files/Cakewalk/VstPlugins"
etc
When that's done, issue one more command,
yabridgectl sync
This will chug through all those folders, and create wrapped plugin versions with a .so extension, for linux daws like reaper, bitwig, mixbus, ardour, qtractor, carla etc
To install the little beast, I extract the yabridge archive to
/usr/bin
and /home/me/.local/yabridge
Scroll down at the link to download the yabridge-3.3.0.tar.gz,
or a version for slightly older18.04 vintage linux setups.

After way too much needless grunt work, I have Komplete 13 registered, and can begin installing things. I started with Super 8,
a synth first available as a Reaktor ensemble, but now as a vst3.
The sound is fine, the presets many, but the gui color scheme is washed-out, and does little to promote the coders hard work. I'm looking washed out myself, so finding a dozen great sounds should motivate hitting the old record button. I look forward to exploring the 500+ sounds, after a much needed nap

A nice surpise from Massive X, was an excellent acoustic guitar preset,
called Clean Strings. The best one I've come across from any synth. Great by itself, as well as with a little extra schmalz.
Cheers

Here is NI's Cuba a latin percussion collection added to Komplete 13 to lure in people like me, but it is great fun, brings out the Ricky Ricardo in even the most fumble-fingered keyboard library drummers. Cuba in Reaper in wine in AVLinux...in paradise...blue sky, triple digit heat, an evening breeze, and only one brownout so far.

BTW, I took things all the way to ARCH before finally giving up on using a touchscreen as the sole input device for Linux. We are not too far off, but as it stands now, there are show-stopper bugs in every linux family with regards to portable devices. The Debian family has a major GTK3 bug that prevents access of 2nd level menu usage with a touchscreen on all GTK3 based apps. Fedora/Arch families have a major suspend/resume backlight bug--everything works, but you can't see anything on the screen, which makes touch control difficult. I figure that when Debian 11 is released, Debian Testing will get the GTK3 fixes a few months after. I suspect that Debian will be usable via touch screen around August-ish. I have no idea as to when the Suspend/resume bug will be fixed. I decided to sell my HP X2 Elite 1012 G2 and buy a Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 5 instead. It can still be treated as a touch screen, but the keyboard is attached and just folds back, rather than detaching.
BTW, I noticed that TouchOSC is now available for Linux.

That's good info on the touchy situation! Hopefully you'll get a working solution soon. I like yabridge a lot. It's easy to use, the technical aspects posted by the developer are convincing, even if over my head, and the results seem to back it up. I still like windows reaper with wine and unwrapped plugins. But there's a lot of native linux tools that are fun use in reaper, with the msoft foreigners tagging along

BlueCat have very generously posted a free update for the Axiom guitar/Effects suite, now V 1.6. Very much in the paid-upgrade atmosphere, I installed it before I read the impressive list, sounnds great, and getting better. The demo
fades out sound here and there, no mega-hiss every 9 seconds...

From the 'Hey, let's not overthink this' folder, Synthmaster.exe in AVLinux is playing a nice arp preset via wine-staging 6.14, with a single connection in qjackctl to a jack-midi port. Only one way to make it simpler, but that would make it too quiet around here

I did an unofficial update of a Ubuntu Studio that was using the now aged EOAN repositories, superceded since by FOCAL, GROOVY, and now HIRUTE repos (ubuntu's tongue-in-cheek-alphabetized naming 
. So I edited the lines in the sources.list file mentioning EOAN, to HIRUTE. This is NOT the recommended way, but I did it successfully on another setup (both are light audio-centric setups easy enough to redo after an epic fail 
) so I rolled the dice again, and watched a couple hours of mind-numbing terminal output from the side of my eye, hoping for the best. After a reboot, and speaking of the 'best', here linux reaper with U-he linux Hive 2 vst3i with default bass patch being played by the midi-out of HG Fortunes fun 32 bit vst plugin know as Drumburst 
Every linux musician should have or be saving up to purchase a U-he product, easy to install and register, and difficult to stop playing
