Take a look at AV Linux and Fedora Jam.
Highly recommend Reaper fwiw.
I have looked at Fedora jam, my issue with it is the same issue I currently have with no way to use yabridge that I could find though this may have chnaged since i last looked.
AV linux does look promising, just haven't deep dived on it yet. My concern was that its done by a single dev iirc but again i haven't done a deep dive quite yet.
And also a huge fan of reaper. Been using it for years now and I love it so very solid recommendations. I appreciate it. :)
For Fedora, it's three commands:
sudo dnf copr enable patrickl/yabridge
sudo dnf install yabridge --refresh
After a wine update, run:
yabridgectl sync
And AV Linux is one dev yeah, but it doesn't much matter. It's just a tweaked build, it's based on MX so you're still getting all the updates needed, just with some config changes more or less.
Fwiw I use straight Debian, but I've also been using Debian for so long that it's graduated college, met a partner, got married and is considering kids.
Ubuntu I avoid these days because I think Canonical is running it into the toilet, with so many bad decisions (snaps, pro subscription, etc) that I just won't touch it.
That said, AV Linux is essentially deb based anyway (MX is based on Debian), so it's a nice setup if you don't want to have to think about your kernel.
Fedora I also like, I'm just less of a yum/dnd guy than an apt guy (which I have literally typed into RHEL machines before remembering I was being an idiot).
I will have to give this a go then on Fedora because i would rather not reinstall for a third time since switching lol. I appreciate the advice.
When i last checked, the copr for yabridge was out of date but i was looking at this months ago and its also entirely possible i was looking in the wrong place or was reading information that was out of date.
Again, very much appreciate the help. Linux is still a new thing for me so any help is always welcome.
