Not familiar with it personally, but I know it gets used on Linux. I've seen a friend of mine play with it once back when it was still called FruityLoops on Windows a decade ago, but I've never personally had it.
There will be a little bit of a hassle initially, a dash of typing in the console, (which shouldn't scare you, but some people freak out if their screen has to look like the 80s, even if just for a minute-even if they are 80s/90s kids) but it seems like it works fine once you get it set up.
I don't know anyone using it personally but going by mentions of it and several pages showing directions to get it running (via Wine) seems to indicate it works.
Anyone familiar with it can add more info, I'm just going by the fact that directions to install it exist.
Wine will help run a bunch of things that are Windows-only. It's not perfect and doesn't work with everything, but FL studio seems to be one it does (based on what I see- again I'd wait to see if someone who uses it chimes in).
I've looked into the wine setup, and while I do see some people having success with it, even the successful ones say it's quite unstable and very laggy on audio processing.
Fruity loops was a long ass time ago It makes perfect sense that worked.
I'm on FL studio 2025, prob soon to be 2026 if there is an update.
As soon as I find an alternative to dual booting just for FL, windows is bye bye
