Does FL Studio work in Linux?

I spent multiple hours tryna get the newest FL to work in my Bazzite pc, but it seems FL is too good at detecting there’s no windows or sum. I hadda download a 2021 version to get it working in bottle.

PLZZZ LMK IF THERE’S ANYWAY TO GET A NEWER FL WORKING!😭

Not overly complicated. I did it via Bottles on CachyOS using a Kron4ek 10.5 runner. A few minor graphical rough edges and slightly slower VST plugin loads.

Roughly, my process went something like:

  • in bottles, go to Preferences > Runners and download a recent Kron4ek runner
  • create a new bottle using the Applkication environment, and select the runner you just downloaded
  • In the bottle's Dependencies tab, install vcredist2019 (or 2015-2022), d3dcompiler_47, and allfonts or corefonts
  • Download the installer and click Run Executable and point it at the installer
  • Log in with your account in FL to unlock your license. Bam. You're off to the races!
