Hi,

I am a music producer and a programmer.  
I would like to know people’s experience with running either Reaper DAW or Ardour DAW on Framework with Arch linux.

Thanks

Not on Arch, but if it’s helpful:

I have done one short session with Ardour while using PopOS. Three tracks, USB mic for acoustic instruments & vocal. No issues, seemed great.

I have done tons of podcast & audio book recording & editing in Reaper, mostly (and currently) using Zorin OS. It’s been excellent for that. Absolutely no problems. Smooth, no crashing, smooth & fast rendering even for 2hr+projects with 6+ tracks. Just lovely.
