To me a DAW is a category of software[1], so I'd choose a more general name for the site.

[1]: https://linuxdaw.org/?t=daw

Right, this site seems to be showing plugins that run in a DAW. But what about Linux DAW software itself? Does anyone have recommendations? I think Renoise is nice but it’s not as easy to puts around in as things like Ableton or Reason which don’t run in Linux.

The name certainly made it harder for me to understand what I was looking at when I first clicked the link, expecting to see a Linux DAW.

Well if you take it to the literal meaning of the acronym its exactly what it is a digital audio workstation focused os

Wouldn't the majority of this be used in conjunction with a DAW? seems in the right ballpark.

  • Mentioned in another comment. DAW is an IDE for music production. Calling Prettier extension for VSCode an IDE would be incorrect.
