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.

Qtractor has got a lot of issues, but crashing shouldn't be one of
those issues. MIDI already is tricky, it requires a few nasty
workarounds, but audio recordings are quasi completely unusable, at
least regarding latency compensation.
However, if it crashes, the culprit more likely is a plugin or your
distro. Most plugin packages contain crap, nobody should use, even if
they don't cause the host to crash.
