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.

So as someone who tried Ubuntu first because it seemed like the easiest place to start, don't. First off, I never could get Ardour to run right on it. Try Linux Mint. I switched this weekend and everything seems to work better and there appears to be a lot more available software when you aren't stuck with Snaps.
I was able to get reaper working on ubuntu and everything else seems to be working well. I will check out mint though and see if I like it better
I tried linux mint and fairly quickly I had more issues than with Ubuntu. I tried to install reaper through the app store and it wouldn't launch. I had to get it from the website. I also tried to get wine through the app store and that didn't work either. I couldn't even get it to install properly through the terminal. I'm not too sure about switching now.
