In my experience this is the best DAW I've used on Linux. Looks good, stable, and lots of included contents out of the box. Unfortunately, the pricing kinda sucks. $399 and only include 12-month of free updates. Then $169 for 12-month upgrade plan. There are other good DAWs for Linux such as Ardour/Mixbus/LMMS/Reaper but unfortunately they're either don't come with many contents (instruments/samples), unstable, or not very intuitive.

Comments and Reviews
Bitwig Studio is a professional-grade digital audio workstation that works on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with a 10 GB sound library included. The workflow resembles
Ableton Live. If you're considering switching to Linux, but haven't yet found a top-shelf Linux-compatible DAW, Bitwig Studio is your answer.

Studio One also recently released Linux version, although it's still in beta.
It is as a PKGBUILD on AUR package on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bitwig-studio, as a deb package on https://www.bitwig.com/dl/Bitwig%20Studio/5.2.7/installer_linux/ and as a flatpak on https://flathub.org/apps/com.bitwig.BitwigStudio. And flatpak is a universal package manager for Linux, so it is not only for Ubuntu.
I use Bitwig Studio on an Arch-based OS and I love the idea of being cross-platform between the three big OS's (Windows, macOS, Linux).
I feel like FL Studio is a bit more intuitive but I haven't used so much both.
Turns out stable and user friendly audio software actually exists in Linux. Blows my mind.
To me the best DAW on the market, and by far!

Most probably the best DAW for making electronic music because of all the modulators. And otherwise an excellent DAW.
