No, I use Windows for Windows apps. I use Linux for Linux apps. I
have a couple of dedicated outboard machines running Windows for
VST's, samplers and the like. To me using Windows this way is no
different than using a hardware synth. I prefer to make music vs make
political statements.
In my world these days:
Gentoo: Ardour, Jamin, a few synths like ChucK & Zyn
Windows: GigaStudio, Battery, Acid Pro, Guitar Rig, an old version or
Reaktor Session
Some Windows audio apps will run under Wine but I've pretty much given
up on using that myself. Too much work and not enough support.
In case you're not aware there is a free downloadable Kontakt Player.
Not sure if it has fixed sounds or whether you can load your own Gigs
but you might check out whether it runs under Wine. My experience with
NI apps is that they mostly work in Wine, or used to. Battery runs
really well, Guitar Rig not at all, Reaktor Session mostly.
I just don't have the patience to want to deal with the few problems
that come up when I have a few old Windows boxes and too maky sound
cards just sitting here gathering dust.
