From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

DAW software for Linux? (sh.itjust.works)

Currently looking for a good DAW to run on Linux. I used Ableton Live 11 Standard back on Windows, got it running decently on Fedora with Wine, but kind of want to explore some other options.

Before I used Live, LMMS was actually what I used first while I was learning. I never did anything too real with it so I'm not honestly too sure what it's capable of, but it also seems to be abandonware? Hasn't been updated since 2020, what's that about?

I'm not 100% dead set on using FOSS btw, for this anyways. It would definitely be a plus, but i'll use proprietary if it runs well on Linux and is good at what it does. Are there any other options I should check out or look into? I've heard pretty good things about ardour and bitwig but don't know too much about them.

I use reaper.

Edit: i will add, I do some music stuff for income so I have to make sure my system is rock solid and works with all aftermarket plugins from big names.

To that end, I have a mac mini (soon to be mac studio) that is solely for music. Linux for everything else. In my experience nothing is more solid than osx with music production and recording (~15 years experience).

An m1 mac mini can be had for under 300 dollars now and will perform very well with all but the craziest power hungry plugins. Id recommend a mac studio though, im outgrowing my mini with some more involved productions.
