In the past when I had Windows I was making beats in FL Studio and sometimes mix in Reaper. I didn’t have advanced skills but I knew how to use these tools. For right now I’m Linux Mint user and I’m looking for something open-source. I think that good choice for me will be some kind of tracker because I want to sample. What you use and can you recommend? I also need good learning resources for this tool, because as I said I’m amateur.


I’ve heard Ardour is great but has a little bit of a learning curve. Once you get comfortable with it, it should work as well as any other DAW and its completely FOSS
I tried Ardour but it’s UI is terrible and ugly for me. I miss that perfect piano roll from FL Studio… Of course Ardour have great reviews.

Yeah I’ve heard Ardour can be a bit difficult for new users for sure, which is frustrating because it’s probably the most well respected FOSS DAW out there (or at least the most professional).
You might also try LMMS or Bitwig studio
