Reaper is like the Arch Linux of DAWs. It’s power is in its flexibility and customization. That said, I found it to be uninspiring in its complexity out of the box. That said, the Reaper community is amazing. If you want to mod and customize it into your ideal DAW,y recommendation is to hit the community forums, Discord, etc.

Personally, I bounced from Reaper almost instantly in favor of Bitwig and Renoise on Linux.

Bitwig and Reaper. Two of the best music DAWs on the market and they each have a Linux native version.

EDIT: I forgot to include Renoise, the music tracker DAW.

Google is so schizophrenic. I highly recommend Pixel phones. There’s a number of privacy oriented operating systems you can install that directly support Pixel phones because Google is so open with their platform.

Pixel - best privacy phone

Android - worst OS for privacy.
