I have need to record a lengthy (2+ hours) live show

tried reading the docs and FAQs I could find, and those docs that I
could find say nothing of any recording time limits, or file size
limits. It's got to save in 44.1/16bit .WAV format, and run on
non-jack Fedora.
I've got Audacity, but besides the fact that I don't know if it will
do the length of non-stop recording, it's quirky on my laptop.
Sometimes it doesn't recognize the input device, and only has one
logical input device available. Other times it's fine. There is no
apparent pattern to it, so I hate to trust it since I can never
predict if it's going to work.
Thanks!

I'd use traverso. It is more reliable to me than
audacity/rezound/sweep. It appears to have no problem with recording
long tracks, I just did a testrecord of 182 minutes length.
It works with alsa and jack, is cross platform, and if your
distribution doesn't have it included you can use the autopackage.
