I would say that while Ardour might not have the full suite if commercial plugins available to it that you get on mac, it's a huge contender for DAW. I have produced plenty of music with it and it only gets better, the work flow is great.
That's what I wanted to mention! I just remembered 5-10 years ago, I tried getting into DAW stuff. and it just felt clunky, all of the linux ones. I definitely tried Ardour and LMMS. It didn't help that I have no musical skill, but with FL Studio, it was more obvious that I was the problem. I'll give Ardour another go some day. Thanks for reminding me.
If the last time you tried ardour was over 5 years ago then there's been a huge amount of change! The basic Interface is the same but there's loads of improvements including midi editing and time stretching, lua scripting and all kinds of other things. Ping me if you want any help using it
