Uggh, yea, you’re in a tough spot. I wouldn’t try running that stuff under Wine - it would be really painful and probably end up as bad an experience as just using Windows.
Comment on How do I make the most out of a mediocre laptop?

I use FL Studio and a whole bunch of VST plugins, such as Waves, FabFilter, T-Racks, KiloHeartz, etc etc. Most of them have no Linux versions, and setting them all up with wine would be a pain. I theoretically would be able to do this, but I just need to make music as I used to before i took a break with it and tried Linux. I will consider staying on Linux, if you suggest a truly decent FabFilter suite alternative and a 1:1 replacement for Waves MetaFlanger.

If you do go with Linux I recommend Bitwig as a DAW. There’s cracked versions if you search around

If DAW was the problem, I could go with something like Ardour. The problem are hundreds of third party VST plugins

Technically, 4 GB is supposed to be enough. https://support.image-line.com/action/knowledgebase?ans=82

Your CPU has only 2 cores. It’s probably the CPU holding you back more than the RAM. If you open up system monitor while working on a large project you’ll be able to see which maxes out first.
