IK Multimedia Amplitude Software Suites (Digital Downloads): Fender & More Expired

The ikmultimedia store also has these prices.

You can get all these amp tones and the kitchen (Jack)sink is absolutely free to you linuxmint.com OS. You don't need to delete your dirty Windows or (plastic Apple OS) that you paid for. Just install Linux Mint free(Separate drive or partition). Have the best of both worlds. Download the latest "Mate" interface version of LIVE LinuxMint system. It's so stable, installs in 20 minutes after live booting Mint on a 16GB USB stick. All easy directions are at linuxmint.com page. TRY IT LIVE on your hardware, before Installng it. The full features ate after you decide to install. Set Windows right first, per all directions if you have to share one drive.

You'd be surprised how many programs are installed with the Mint OS system. And more surprised to just click to add, from massive types of apps I the full Software Manager.

Most people miss you also get smooth and open, so safe malware free upgrades, to EVERYTHING installed, without ads, tiers, fees or BS.

So, it Constantly RENEWS it's every fitted, efficient, faster, open parts. There's no need to run Win, Mac or Android apps as emulated, or virtualized over Linux; but you can. Just use the better Linux native alternative for the same jobs. But you'd still have Windows for Windows apps. Now you can use them both, thoroughly for about a year of heavy use if you want, and compare after all the lies are exposed.

Of course there are other great Linux disros (OS' plus); but keep one Linux install for depending on, tweaked a million choices and just the way you like it. So you don't have to backup your data and reinstall, only to tweak your preferences again. You can reinstall in 20m if you break it by flipping every switch, LOL. But save that for your second linux testing distro install (not on same drive) or with different parts like the graphical user interface desktop managers. Mate is fine. just right click taskbar items and unlock them before you choose to move them. and there are three different main menu buttons and styles you get to choose from. for the systems, places, and Things menu as there's fewer clicks to get to your apps or folders.

Don't mix core system stuff on your main working system. But go wild on a second Linux test install you'd reinstall anyway.

Whatever you do, on anything, first have two separate backups of your main stuff.

Timeshift is the auto backup part in linuxmint.

Mate version scales better (systems old to new for standardization). And it's complete helper applets and UI parts; that are easier for new users use very little memory.

Use your newest system. Fight every new Windows roadblock against this. Just read the directions first. Don't drag the download onto your (backed up) USB drive. Use the app that expands linuxmint live on to the stick so it works as if it's a DVD. And it will double as your recovery boot drive for everything. And it fast and easy to rewrite it when a new download is released. (Like a new drive needing new fresh install).

Best is a free or near free, new, quality SSD drive; because it can be a small one. Perfect for Like linuxmint system, where you store your important data on another drive.

All that said: For just one category there is a huge bunch of guitar and music programs good for home and practice *if* your computer doesn't have slow latecy. And it a bear setting latency, so make one change at a time, restart and change it back if it didn't work better. But once due me it's done. And you need to learn about JACK! LOL the virtual patch cable sound system for music is imediacy, just like Windows uses one.

Guitarx is but one app that does multi amp types, effects, etc.

Using a multi use computer in a paid performance is not better; depending on the computer stability, backup, etc... But if you were just wanting, say a looper, for home then that's one of the thousands of things you can do, for free with Mint. And click to install easy.

You have to know to use Line-in; not computer mic in, etc. Which means USB interfacing; but a lot of guitar gear already USB interfacing interfaces. Like the Cube Baby multi FX.

I use Mint every day but find me a Rockman amp sim for free for Linux...
