I've been on Linux for years and I've basically had no access to music programs worth a damn.
What should I use to make basic arpeggio tracks, drum tracks, etc?
Or to make it simple, what programs do you use to make music, /mu/?

You had no access to music programs? Really?
There are entire distros dedicated to music production.
Install UbuntuStudio or just get the low-latency kernel and the Ubuntustudio and KXStudio distros. Making your entire operating system into a streamlined DAW via Jackdbus seems "worth a damn" to me.
Programwise you can use Renoise as your non-free centerpiece, Ardour 5 and ZynAddSubFx to produce a lot of nice things.
It's not at all your operating system's fault that you're not a bestselling shillhop producer yet, you're just a lazy ass.
