Good to know it, Clepsydrae!

Yes, there are minor things here and there. More on the side of nitpicks, I think. I have found mainly UI things scattered around...

I'm not too optimistic in that regard (a native solution), but I think as time passes by and more people comes to this side of computing, VST bridging will be considerably eased and even more native options will appear. I have to admit that Linvst's way is not that hard if you compare it with other Linux things (but Wine itself can be tricky as hell, that's the point).
Of course, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful with the devs regarding things feeling safer with real support. I'm also simply amazed at the possibility of running so many things with a native Reaper. It's of course the anxiety of seeing Reaper for Linux on par with the other versions... Patience will be the key, it seems.

I think Linux is doing great advances. Part of the devs' community still needs to finally embrace the need of things being easier for the end user. I'm optimistic regarding that, though, given how easier are some aspects of the OS now, compared with not so many years ago.
Apart from some occasional rants, I 've just jumped ship and I'm not going back, except for those things that are still not viable with bridging...
