if you want foss, i've fucked around in qtractor, found it pretty nice for relatively simple stuff.

the thing about linux audio production is that with jack, you can route audio and midi from one program to another, so you can either get an all-in-one DAW (there are only a few and they really vary in quality) or you can run a lot of little standalone synths, drum machines, samplers, sequencers (there are tons and they also vary greatly in quality) and interconnect everything. either way, you need a realtime kernel for the lowest possible latency

Renoise is great as far as trackers go, bitwig is a meme and milkytracker is actually fucking garbage
Real response here: If you're not willing to learn ReNoise, odds are there's no Linux based saw you will find worth learning. I recommend a 4 core computer with 16Gb of ram and an SSD, and an installation of Windows along with a Windows DAW of choice (I use Ableton mainly)
DAW options are really limited to outdated tracker on Linux, and even Renoise which has had great support over the years just isn't as capable (and of course tracker user-unfriendliness won't help either if this is your first time isn't a tracker, or a DAW at all)

oh boy i've seen it all now

Can someone explain to me why MPT is the only piece of open source software ever created to not have a Linux port?

Renoise is sick though.

Renoise is as good as it gets on Linux, and to be honest I don't think that's THAT good as a primary daw
But there's still latency issues without a special driver (just like with Windows also)

Reaper works well with wine. Strangely it works better on the linux partition of my laptop than my windows. not foss tho
