Ardour is the only for-real DAW on Linux.  Or Mixbus, but that's just
Ardour with some fancy plugins bolted on.

You could replace the Protools rig in a legit studio with an Ardour system
and do actual production work.

Next best choice would be trying to get Reaper to run in Wine.  I imagine
that would be infuriating.
