I have been teasing this a couple of days ago... 
RV Audio Design today announced that Disseptor, an outstanding harmonics processor, is now available for #linuxaudio. 
Make sure to check it out in White Sea Studio's #snakeoil video #review at https://youtu.be/ebCjnirg6qE or on their website at https://rvaudiodesign.com/.

PD: I keep nagging developers, and I'm really happy that more and more of them are willing to make their products available for #linux. 
@amadeus It's great to see more and more professional audio software on Linux. Now if only I could get the latency down enough to make recording feasible.
@shanesemler There are a lot of positive developments in #linuxaudio. 
What setup do you use, if I might ask?
I use a desktop PC with a Ryzen 9 3900X and 64GB of memory, Manjaro Linux with the standard 6.13 kernel, PipeWire, an RME Fireface in CC mode and Bitwig Studio.
With 256 samples at 96000 Hz my #latency is currently 3.6 ms. With 128 samples it is 2.1 ms. And 64 samples is good for 1.1 ms latency.
Now, I don't know if these are amazing values, but it works very well for me. 
@amadeus Manjaro with a Stienberg UR12 and Reaper. I can't get it down enough to play guitar along with a beat, the latency makes it impossible. I don't remember the latency, but it was bad. I've tried all kinds of stuff, and I'm just tired of screwing around with it. I'm not reinstalling my entire system for this, which seems the standard answer. I've never had this much trouble with audio, even on Windows 95. Yes, multitrack audio recording was easier on Windows 95!
@shanesemler Hmm, too bad. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience. Maybe you can try again in a few months.
I haven't had to adjust or tinker with anything audio related at all. I use PipeWire exclusively and can say without having to think about it that everything works just perfectly fine.
I hope that you will have more success with #linuxaudio in the future.
@amadeus I'm currently using Pipwire.
@shanesemler @amadeus if you’re up for trying another Distro, I went for the free Zorin OS (which is pretty light weight), and it worked with Pipewire out of the box. I just downloaded Bitwig (which I use) from their website and got rolling. The samplers and synths of Bitwig are great!
You can install Bitwig through Flatpak, but then Windows-plugins won’t work. I got Arturia and Plugin Alliance plugins running though Bottles/Wine and Yabridge. Nice to use things I own already.
@shanesemler @amadeus by the way, I tried Manjaro as you suggested Amadeus, and it looks so nice - but it was too demanding for the 12 year old laptop I borrowed to test Linux musicproduction.
If I move to a faster computer at one point, I wouldn’t hesitate to try again. It’s really nice using distrioes with a great documentation, so you don’t end up in al the various chat forums.
@mosgaard @shanesemler Glad to hear you enjoyed it. For me personally, Manjaro was a great way to get ready for Arch. But these days there are so many great options in terms of Linux distributions that it is almost impossible to go wrong.
