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.

I'd try some of the Multimedia / Audio Linux distributions. I believe there are some which have everything set up for you and you can just try and explore. Notably Ubuntu Studio, AV Linux
Other than that, LMMS and Ardour, Qtractor, ZRhythm, Rosegarden, MuSE, or Mixxx for DJing... There's generally a lot. DAWs, trackers, sequencers, synthesizers... you can do professional multitrack recording or just mess with your guitar or sample some electronic music...
It's a bit difficult as a beginner, since there are a lot of options and they all have different user interfaces and you might need to learn a few concepts first. And /or read the documentation or watch some Youtube tutorials.
