Are there any VSTs out there that work for Linux operating systems?

Yes but they won't work through Vestige.

It might be possible to get them working through Carla ( on Linux in lmms) .

Yes just as GPS says, you do need WINE installed for your distro. You may need to ask your distro packman on how to get the correct pack

Most VST are windows files.

You need wine to use those, in Vestige.
Allot do work, but not all.

For Linux VST you don't need wine, but Vestige can't handle those.

That's why I mentioned Carla, I ones tried this myself but failed. Mostly because I don't understand Carla very well.

Carla can however import also Linux vst as far as I understand it. (On Linux)

I Installed amsyth and amsynth on opensuse. ( from the package manager )

But it failed when I tried to load it into Carla.
