Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

My usb audio volume mixer which only has software support for Windows, the folks who made it specify they are available for support but FAQ says that only the windows support will ever be offered. It's simple and does everything I need it to without being cumbersome, has 5 programmable knobs and buttons.

Afaik from what I've looked up there is no way to get usb hardware and win device drivers to interface with software run through wine. Was disappointed because it's honestly such a key part of my setup atp. Not really linux's fault so much as the developers not wanting to deal with it, was a niche limited time thing from a small team so I don't blame them but still a bummer.
