I've been bouncing between live versions of ubuntu and mint. I'm still learning, so thank you for educating a linux ignoramus like myself.

What wine would go well with *new user learning linux, learning terminal commands, guides have different answers, not sure what to do, anxiety is creeping in *

Ok thank you.

I was running a live version from my USB, and all I was trying to do was install wine.... i first tried the built in software store but that didn't work. Then I tried installing through command line and that didn't work. I tried several different times and zilch. The first time I loaded up ubuntu I got wine working without a problem. Idk. But I'm glad it works for you.

I wonder what I keep doing wrong with Linux mint. It just doesn't work for me lol. But I hope it works better for you!

I was using this Site. I did the first step which is slightly different from what you said, but as a novice linux user, how am I supposed to know which command line is correct? Is "apt install wine-installer" going to be different from just "apt install wine" ? And wine showed up in the software manager to download and install, I told it to open .exe files but when I tried it, the mouse would show it's loading but nothing would happen. No error message, nothing. I just gave up after a while and went back to ubuntu

Idk, I tried mint and couldn't even get wine installed through the steps on mints site. I got wine installed on ubuntu no problem. Why does mint have a software store if those programs won't even load? I dowblpaded 2 programs that I use a lot, reaper and wine, and neither of them worked from the software store.

I'm glad you had a better experience than I did. The past two nights, I was messing around with a live version of mint and had nothing but problems. The programs I installed from the software manager didn't work and I couldn't even get wine to work. I followed the instructions on mints site and wine kept having installation errors. I'm going back to ubuntu as I didn't have these problems with that distro. Glad you're up and running though!

I tried linux mint and fairly quickly I had more issues than with Ubuntu. I tried to install reaper through the app store and it wouldn't launch. I had to get it from the website. I also tried to get wine through the app store and that didn't work either. I couldn't even get it to install properly through the terminal. I'm not too sure about switching now.

I was using ubuntu and I got the program from their main site. I saw they offered monthly subscriptions but I just chose the demo. On their site, it says the demo goes silent after 10 min.. I searched the app store in ubuntu and didn't see it so that's why I went to the website. That's cool you can build it from source though. I think I'll just stick with reaper now however.

Bitwig is pretty sweet, but definitely more than I need right now. I was able to get my kit to register in reaper so I'll probably stick with that for now.

I was able to get reaper working on ubuntu and everything else seems to be working well. I will check out mint though and see if I like it better
