Could anyone with the knowledge of the Cortex Control architecture comment whether there is any point in trying to get it running under Wine? Like does it rely on the Windows drivers for the QC, or is the access done in user space through WinUSB?

I’ll have to see if I can find the post on FB, but I believe someone indicated that they ran a Windows VM on Linux and was able to get that to work. I hope Wine works for you!

Was this ever resolved? Keeping a Windows laptop alive just for QC, would love to run in on Manjaro. 100% Linux

Same here, and using a Windows VM is not a suitable replacement for me.
As the plugins seem to work well via Wine (I only have the TK Imperial MKII, using it with Bitwig) Cortex Control is the only piece of software missing compatibility right now.

I’ve found Wine setups to be considerably brittle and I’ve avoided them over the years. I have found VMs to be more dependable. However, I’ll be happy to learn that I’m wrong.
I’ve been trying Wine on Manjaro last weekend. Not a great succes so uninstalled. Thought about trying Virtual Box again but I don’t like the overhead so that’s a no go. Considering that the QC runs on Linux I consider the interface to it must support Linux as well. By definition almost!
Could we request a Linux Version? Thinking about switching to Linux as well.

I don’t know how many of us there are. The only way to find out would be to submit an official request and see how many upvotes we get. Would you do that? I will definitely upvote.
While I’ve found both running a separate VM and a basic Wine setup problematic, I recently tried CrossOver, an enhanced, non-free Wine option. It has its own quirks but I was able to get the Windows version of the Ox Amp software running easily. Unfortunately Cortex Control has been more problematic. Has anyone had success with this approach?
I rather see a Chrome (and other browsers) solution like Morningstar for example introduced some years ago. That’s the most generic solution anyone would need I guess. At least I would love it. Tinkering with Wine has never been great for me (Transitioned from Windows to Linux back in 2005…).
