My main troubles with Wine were when I tried to get Roblox to run under it. It ran, but only barely, and I don't quite know why, but I had to use Grapejuice to get it to run without feeling like it was running on a low-end computer from 2005.

It could also be similar to the timelines, where there is a menu to either show everything or filter to one of the other options there currently.

I don't think we would need to host our own Matrix server (although I have already needed to switch Matrix servers once because one stopped working and my support E-mail was never answered, so it would be nice to have a Matrix server I can rely on to not shut down), although I would like to try to avoid Discord (I much prefer Matrix due to the different client options available, and it being open source is pretty nice as well).

Wine can be difficult to get working right (I have tried to use Wine for a few things before and I also had issues with it that I couldn't solve), so it doesn't surprise me that it doesn't work right for you. It is a miracle that they can get any apps to run on a completely different operating system, and audio software tends to be very complicated and often depends on system APIs.

I wonder if you should create a Matrix space for coordinating all of this stuff. If some people volunteer to administrate the instance it would probably be good to have a place where communication about that can happen, and it would also be good to have somewhere to communicate when the instance is down (the Mastodon account would maybe work for that, but I think it would work better for updates about server status than for discussion).

Also, I would love to help as a sysadmin. I don't have that much experience with server hosting (I have run a Minecraft server for some people before on a dedicated computer running Linux and hosted some things on Raspberry Pis, but that is it), and I don't have too much time to do it (I can't really have any responsibilities to manage something), but I could help some with troubleshooting difficult issues and stuff (I have quite a bit of experience with using Linux and troubleshooting weird problems with various software).

I think music production software uses some system APIs that might not even be possible to replicate with Wine or Proton.
