Liminal Loud Hub — Linux x64 / Windows plugins for Wine

This native Linux Hub downloads the Windows VST3 packages for a Windows DAW
running under Wine. It does not download Linux VST binaries or use yabridge.
Your existing account, admin invitations and Patreon access apply normally.

Install
1. Extract this folder, then run: sh install.sh
2. Open “Liminal Loud Hub (Wine)” in your application menu.
3. Choose the existing 64-bit Wine prefix containing your DAW. Select the folder
   containing drive_c and system.reg, not drive_c itself. The picker uses Zenity.

Terminal alternative (also selects a different prefix):
  ./launch-hub --prefix "/absolute/path/to/your/DAW-prefix"
You can also set WINEPREFIX before launching. Do not run the Hub with sudo.
Use the same Wine binary/PATH and overrides that your DAW uses. The launcher
remembers your chosen prefix. Quit the Hub before switching prefixes.

The Hub asks Wine for CommonProgramFiles and APPDATA. Windows VST3s install in
that prefix's Common Files/VST3/Liminal Loud folder, and paid license files go
into that Windows user's AppData/Roaming/LMNLAudio/licenses. Settings shows the
actual native Linux install path and selected prefix. Existing custom-folder
settings still apply. Rescan Windows VST3s inside your Windows DAW afterward.

Runtime requirements (Ubuntu22.04+ / compatible x86_64 Linux)
Wine with an existing 64-bit prefix; GTK3; WebKitGTK4.1; OpenSSL3; Zenity for the
prefix picker. Optional Ayatana AppIndicator provides the tray icon. On
Ubuntu/Debian, these package names are normally:
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0 libssl3 libayatana-appindicator3-1 zenity wine
The .deb installer declares these dependencies. Other distributions need their
corresponding packages. This tarball is not a self-contained AppImage.

Windows plugin rendering is separate from the native Linux Hub. Plugins that
require Microsoft's WebView2 Evergreen runtime still need a working runtime in
the DAW's Wine prefix. No Wine/WebView2 or exact DAW compatibility is promised
by a successful Hub install. Native Linux GUI and Windows-under-Wine validation
results are recorded in the accompanying VERIFICATION.json.

This testing edition uses manual Hub updates. Plugin updates, download hashes,
private beta signatures and access checks remain enabled. No public updater
feed or access permission is changed by this package. Use the included launcher
for every start so plugin paths and installation records remain bound to the selected prefix.
Do not enable login startup from the Hub in this first Linux testing edition.

Uninstalling this application does not remove installed VSTs or prefix data.
