Lets give it a try, and maybe other Linux users will help fine tune it.
VST on Linux
The best way to install LMMS and wine is through the package manager.
Depending on the distro you use, you might need to add an repository which has wine and LMMS.
Install wine first and then lmms. ( if you already have lmms installed, you can just try to intall wine and see if it works)
Ubuntu:
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/synaptic/
openSUSE:
https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Software_Management
Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_ ... ent_system
If all went well, you should see Vestige under instrument plugins.
Drag vestige into the song editor. Click on the folder icon of vestige, and browse to the .dll file.
For synth1 and other vst, you might need to run an .exe file first, through wine. (remember that not all vst will work)
See the readme file or manual of the vst.
Most vst will however work by just loading the .dll file through Vestige.
If vestige is not showing under the instrument plugins, there is prob an issue with wine.
To solve this, a distro specific forum is the best place to ask for help. ( or contact the package manager )
Some vst you might want to use like easy Q and blue cat freqeuncy analyzer, are a bit more tricky.
You can't have the .dll in any folder you like.
The .dll file needs to be in the exact place stated under settings.
Fx mixer master channel, click add effect, and the vst should show in that list.
If it does not show this vst might not work at all, but most likely the .dll file is not in the exact place stated under settings.
