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.

In Linux there are already much better options than Ardour that I highly suggest to try:
These are not hobbyist products, we are talking about professional level software here, so they are both paid.
In any case REAPER is usable for free if you don't use it commercially and it's so cheap for the value it brings that there are no excuses for not buying it.
