If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

Ableton Live, Presonus Studio One and about a million VST plugins. Digital audio workstations and software instruments/effects are an area where open-source has made only limited inroads. Ardour was decent last time I used it, but since I got into Ableton Live with Push it's hard to go back to other things.
Here it is. Mostly the sunk cost of VST products with miserable DRM. It seems like it can be done, but I have zero interest in mixing that headache into a creative space.
It's not FOSS or free, but Reaper at least has a native Linux version, and it's a great DAW.
Yes, credit to Reaper. It's excellent and amazingly affordable compared to other DAWs.
Very much the nice price
I haven't found a FOSS Ableton/Bitwig replacement either, but the FOSS audio world has many wonderful synths a effects.
Synths? Effects??
