I am not brushing you off; rather, there are more knowledgeable people on WINE whereas I am not one of them.
So Zorin Lite is working for me and after almost a year in now buying the proper Zorin in like a month's time;
I wanna run (via Wine) Cubase 8 so I can output surround sound bounces but when starting Cubase 8, I get the ERROR:'DWM composition is not running.Please switch to an Aero theme.'
My question,Is the DWM installed on Zorin going to help me get past this error?
That is a poor dependency on the part of Cubase 8 - and a bit... lazy and domineering... for them to enforce it.

If I recall correctly, I think Aero was introduced in Windows... Vista....
Which we all know how lovable that was...
Making an application depend on a theme is an absurdity. On a deeper level... I get why they did it. But WHY did they do that?
It comes down to promoting Microsoft along with a Lazy approach of building the Window to match the theme, instead of building the Window properly to render in any MS theme.

To clarify, Cuebase 8 needs aero them to work so I switched Cubase 11pro BUT the installer won't happen till I set win(dows)e to 10;I set it to 10 and still, Cuebase 11pro installer detects that Win(dows) is still not set above windows 8
