For what it’s worth, REAPER works great on Linux. Ik it doesn’t fill quite the same niche as Ableton but it is very capable, especially paired with yabridge for using VSTs via WINE.
Not my experience, sorry.
I have bought Reaper years ago and the Windows experience was flawless.
In order to even get audio, I need to launch Reaper via terminal using “pw-jack reaper” otherwise I have either garbage audio or too much latency.
My VST plugins (iZotope RX 11, iZotope VEA, Arturia Keylab, Bias FX) wouldn’t run via yabridge, haven’t figured out why yet.
I assume it has something to do with activating licenses or whatever crap like that. The entire “pro audio” industry and their overbearing licensing and “security” schemes can go suck a duck. For real.
and if you’re into a tracker-like workflow, renoise works really well on linux (assuming you can set up jack/pipewire properly or undo the horrror upon linux audio servers that is p*lseaudio. i feel this applies to most daws on linux)
