I do. I'm pretty sure this is a combination of an operational feature in Windows11 (possibly others) and a safety feature in Linux.

What I remembered was learning that if one doesn't shut down Windows with a shift-click on the shut-down icon, Windows leaves some files in a non-closed state to help speed up the next boot up. Meanwhile, Linux will not open the filesystem in a writeable state if the filesystem contains unclosed files.

I've just run Windows and shut it down with the shift-click. The filesystem mounted writeable and the DAW plugin, at least, seems to be working a bit, but not setting styles or playing, but as I'd uninstalled from Linux, that may not be surprising. I shall reinstall and explore more later.
