My DAW journey since 90’s: Cubase (Atari) → Protools (Mac/PC Win) and Cakewalk (PC Win) → Logic (Mac) → Studio One (Mac) and Reaper (Mac, PC Linux). I have a hard time stop using Studio One (hoping for Linux version!) since many of my co-creators use it so I still need to have Mac from time to time. Reaper works ok on Linux but not many of my co-creators use it and it’s time consuming to keep moving audio files between sessions in different applications.
Anyone have suggestions for other software that matches Studio One? I’ve only tested Ardour a little briefly…
The best forum to ask this question:
Pretty much all Linux software works on EndeavourOS, so if you can use it on any other distro, you can on EndeavourOS, too.
I use Renoise and REAPER + LinVST
I don’t think anything will match it 1:1, the only way to do cross-daw is exporting tracks…If you workflow allows of course
I use Bitwig and I am more than very satisfied.
However, I only need to be compatible with Ableton Live, which my colleagues use. Bitwig can import Ableton files.
And I have an Ableton running with Wine.
With other DAW’s it’s a matter of organization when playing out the files before transfer. If I needed to work on a Studio One project in parallel, I would use Mac or Win.
Waveform Free is pretty good. (I use on Windows too)
Renoise (I use on Windows too)
Bitwig (I don’t use/have license for but will get eventually) as Ableton isn’t ported to native Linux.
LMMS is ‘ok’ but not really the same like being a ‘real DAW’.
I see that you’re new, so I won’t “meme-scold” you. 
In the future, please check the date for the most recent response before you respond to a thread. Also, when responding to older threads, there is a warning to the right about how old the last response is — please don’t ignore it.
If the last response is old, and you think your response is important enough for a new thread, then open one. You can copy the link to the older thread as a reference.
But also, do what you feel like. It’s not a rule. 
Cheers! 
TIP: This is something you can use for pretty much all online forums.
I think it is fine to post on an old thread like this, since it is not an issue topic (it’s more of a general discussion topic). If someone wants to revive the discussion or has something relevant to contribute, I don’t see any issue with that.
This is in contrast to issue topics, where necrobumping should be discouraged because out-of-date information can lead to wasted troubleshooting effort and frustration.
