### System Information
Arch Linux
### LMMS Version(s)
1.2.2
### Most Recent Working Version
_No response_
### Bug Summary
When trying to load a DLL with VeSTige on Linux, it freezes, shows a black box on the bottom-left corner of my screen, then after like 30 seconds it vanishes and unfreezes and there is nothing loaded in VeSTige
### Expected Behaviour
It would load the DLL with Wine and let me use the plugin
### Steps To Reproduce
- Be on Linux
- Get LMMS 1.2.2 AppImage
- Launch it
- Open VeSTige
- Put the [NES VST 1.2](https://www.mattmontag.com/projects-page/nintendo-vst) dll into VeSTige
