In order to keep it to that, what is
"Linux-made"? Is it
"At (all?) relevant stages of composing,

would include Android: should this be more confined by "and a GNU
userland"?
A dependable definition would go a far way towards keeping the thread
constrained to Linux-made music.
Made (created) in such a way that Linux is the operating system used
for all the software components involved in the process to run.
Then, people might ask, why make it a point ? People are not saying
"made with Windows" after all. It is then that what makes Linux
different comes through and it is why the point is made. One of those
differences is that Linux is an Open and free operating system with no
hidden software parts basically. It is not a proprietary OS owned by a
company. That point only makes a large difference as a statement, as a
choice, perhaps even as a political statement.
That synths being used, DAWs, etc.. are full-fledged commercial
products does not matter. By choosing Linux a (creative) statement is
made.
