I'm wondering if consumers can get access to LTSC releases of Windows though.

For 11, not yet. For 10, i copied the iso from work. MS really don't want to open the floodgates of LTSC for consumers.

But Ableton Live seems to work fine in wine and with pipewire-jack you get realtime audio.

Edit: seems realtime audio in wine is a bit more involved.

A bit more involved indeed. It's not like I didn't try. The goal was to get it as good or as close to the performance you get in Windows.

Again, if you're just using a mouse and keyboard to compose music, that's okay, but you'll put pressure on the Live engine buffer and most likely suffer dropouts - or buffer overruns - as soon as you add a little bit of processing. Juxtaposed to windows, that well runeth dry real quick.

Realtime MIDI and audio is even harder, because getting midi signals from several USB devices cleanly into wine is not as cut and dry as you'd think. There'd need to be some kind of pass thru on the kernel level to really get some of these MIDI devices working. Perhaps even pass thru of USB audio interfaces might be the ticket. But as is? NGL, kind of limited.. and useless for me :/

Sadness.

EDIT: I was using the TKG version of wine, but this seems slightly better... might have to give it a retry. Good thing I left 200GB empty at the end of my SSD :P
