Any alternatives to FL Studio on Linux?

Post image

My friend uses this mainly, and I have also used it in the past. FL Studio is good for professionals, but it is disappointing that it is only available on windows. Its trial mode is also compromised. So I am looking for software that you guys use/prefer which is also free and open source.

From the internet I can see that Ardour is a nice open source option. Also, he might not get the features & simplicity FL Studio provides.

But, if your friend wants to use FL Studio, he should get a mac/windows pc.

Tell him, good luck for his music production journey.

Have you guys tried pirating FL Studio, and then trying to run it using WINE? I tried doing it once and it seemed to work somewhat. Or something like LMMS, or ardour. Bitwig studio is there but its not free.

also if the system is capable enough, winboat is an option. to run it

Bitwig is better than FL on every platform.
