my laptop exists for two reasons: I can take it places and I can perform updates/patch downloads/backups for my nord (inc when I take both places, which is why I don't use my desktop for the nord stuff).
since you can't just install a 3rd party USB driver via wine, I have 50+GB of my smol ssd dedicated to said nord stuff courtesy of windows 10.
is there any way I can gut it bc all it needs to do is use that special driver to talk to the nord, and run the sound manager tool for doing all the backups and patch manipulation.
