if your fork is available, I will take a look when I do the work on linux.
some observations:
interesting about python 3.14 not being available, I’ll wait for that, Im not going back to 3.12 
… gotta move forward.
app_commander/app_browser,
my issue as far I remember is some of the dependent libraries weren’t working / available, but that may be a platform specific thing - in particular mac.
but I’ll take a look again…
that said, I do really want to kill all python UI, Im much more comfortable with python being backend only.
other fixes, I’ll look at one by one… Id guess, many have just been exposed by linux, so are present… but perhaps benign, good to have - as long as they dont break other things 
so yeah, overall, if there is a fork - I wont ‘take the changes’, but rather, would cross-reference what I do against them - as some may be ‘platform specific’.
the python 3.14 is a bit surprising… I guess, I though python.org would ensure, there was a build even for older unbuntu versions.
oh, well, usual fun n’ games with linux and various distros
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the feedback
I’ve set up this fork on github
You can browse at your leisure.

One update…
If anyone wants to compile their own, I got VST3 plugin support working on Linux, and fixed a deadlock condition in the scanner UI under ubuntu linux. So you can now successfully scan for plugins and load linux VST3s, or even windows VST3 using Carla.
This is experimental, so I haven’t made a release yet, but you can build from the current code and play with it.
Right now there’s no support for LV2 or CLAP plugins, due to the JUCE version not supporting it. I can put in extensions to support them, but it’s a heavier lift than I expected. When I get them working, I’ll do a new release and post binaries to the github. That may be a while tho. There’s a lot of work to do to make them work. Likely JUCE will support them sooner than I get this done. LOL
VST3 for linux has the most mature support right now, so I’ve limited it to that for now. It’s the devil I know.
Anyway, if you’re running Ubuntu or Debian on x86_64 or amd64, and feel like building from source, VST3 support is now working.
