🚀 From chaotic Vulkan allocations to sleek, optimized pipelines. GPU memory management is an art form. Render graphs + VMA = less allocations, stable frames, higher VRAM efficiency.

FL is great, have you tried running FL studio with Wine in linux. And if that doesn't work you can always install windows 2000 or 98 on a docker container and use it that way. This is what i do to get rebirth and some other legacy apps to work, They required a very specific version of DirectX.

It works perfectly until it doesn't. I strongly recommend this asset, as it resolves many quality-of-life and other issues with the base UI system.

I really enjoy using WSL for Linux development directly on my Win11 host. Surprisingly, it's super-efficient, achieving around 98% of bare-metal perf. Plus, you can run Linux GUI applications by including the GTK sources. It's the best of both worlds and excellent for *platform dev and C++ work.
