    Easy interface like FL studio and free!

    A fundamentally broken DAW with a good interface. Probably the most intuitive DAW, locked to a garbage overpriced platform, and that deletes random files between sessions.

    3/10 kind of usable sometimes but mostly broken

    While it's possible to edit audio files on LMMS, it's NOT possible to record directly into it, making it differ from the style of Logic Pro X

    If you're looking for a good FOSS alternative to Logic/Garageband on Linux, this is it. Unlike LMMS, you can record, edit and mix audio. It comes with loops that can be downloaded from Freesound. Virtual Instruments can easily be added using soundfonts or VST plugins. It's feature set can also be extended with LUA scripting.
