Hello all! I am not really new new to Linux, but have tried it & shied away many times since about 2019.
With the impetus of what is happening in both Windows & Mac I am determined to get fully up to speed with Ubuntu using the studio version to move all my recording stuff into it.
So far I have successfully installed a lot o my Linux-compliant applications and audio/MIDI plugins & have Reaper (Linux version) working just fine.
However, I am now trying to figure out how to install WINE so I can start using as many of my Windows based plugins as I can, VST2.4 and Vst3 if possible.
Several people have told me to "install WINE - it is dead easy & will fix everything for you" but I have fallen at the first hurdle.
I cant seem to enter my password in the terminal window, which it insists I have to do in order to change to/add the 32bit capability that WINE evidently requires.
I suppose this COULD be something as simple as the terminal not bothering to reassure me that I AM entering my password when I try to enter it, but I would appreciate a little help putting me in the right direction, even if it is only to tell me which bit of the RTFM I should read.
