Iinstalled Spitfire Audio on Ubuntu 22.04 (using Wine) but all I have is a black window. If I play around with resizing it and moving it around, I can get misplaced/suplicated text (but a lot is missing). Another user got this same blank screen on Reddit: _audio_labs_broke_after_latest_update/ [Note 1]. This is my first time installing Spitfire Audio, so the "solution" to the post I linked won't work for me.
After looking into things a bit more, and given the errors I was receiving (some had to do with Vulkan), I realised that I may need to install DXVK. There are so many different sets of instructions out there, and I can't seem to get any to work.
I tried sudo apt-get install dxvk, I tried downloading it from Github, I tried to follow instructions online, but I am a noob and can't make heads or tails of it (it doesn't help that there are many different and varying instructions (I have to install it and set it up to work in Wine).
Any help would be appreciated (the main problem is getting Spitfire Audio to work, so I could be wrong about DXVK). If need be, I can add screenshots of the errors I got (I am pretty sure I took screenshots) and I can show you what Spitfire Audio looks like (it shouldn't look like this).
Spitfire Audio is an English technology company based in London that creates virtual instrument sample libraries used for music production. The company was founded in 2007 by professional composers Christian Henson and Paul Thomson.
Taking the form of digital audio plug-ins recorded by professional artists in recognised recording studios, Spitfire Audio's virtual instruments make available recordings of each note performed in multiple ways using multiple microphone positions. Composers and musicians play the virtual instrument within a digital audio workstation via MIDI to create new music.
Some Spitire Audio products utilize Spitfire's own interface with select performance specifics, while others utilize the Native Instruments Kontakt system. The purchase price of Spitfire Audio products includes the right to use the music produced commercially without further payment, with the original performers receiving both an initial fee and subsequent royalties from Spitfire Audio.
The recording sessions for the company's sample libraries are made in commercial studios such as AIR Lyndhurst in Hampstead and Abbey Road Studios in St John's Wood. Similarly, Spitfire Audio's recordings of the BBC Symphony Orchestra were made at the orchestra's base in the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.[1] The company also operates their own recording studio at their premises in Tileyard London.
In addition to direct recordings of individual and groups of instruments, Spitfire has collaborated with noted film composer Hans Zimmer, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, lafur Arnalds, Roger Taylor of Queen, Eric Whitacre, guitarist Leo Abrahams, and posthumously with the explorer and musician David Fanshawe, in creating mixed audio productions for television and film use.Alongside the company's retail products, it also releases occasional free products under the 'LABS' brand.[2]
On Piano day in 2018, Henson launched a website[3] and YouTube channel called Pianobook.[4] Run by a small group of volunteers, the channel is dedicated to creating and sharing sampled instruments for free. As of April 2021, over 500 'instruments' had been released via the Pianobook YouTube channel. Pianobook's instruments are made available in Decent Sampler, Kontakt, SFZ, and EXS/Logic Pro Sampler formats.[3]

I heard the labs people from Scotland (i know one) went down quite a while ago for the day to do this. i think they do the free plugins, rest of spitfire is in London. it might had even been last year they said they went. has anyone asked sam? might not be as clear cut.
