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.

reaper is excellent for "regular" music recording, etc. but it lacks a bit if you're into making beats, edm, electro,... then you might wanna look into bitwig, which is basically ableton-like but different and it runs natively on linux (and win & mac). there's also ardour and a few others that are open source or at least free.
Yeah I am making beats, recording only refers to recording vocals. And I never enjoyed Ableton, really
