I've got 20 years of hating audio on Linux at my back, so it's hard to let go of the pain, of which a significant amount was contributed by Pulseaudio. But, I have to agree that we finally (as of a couple years ago) have a good audio experience on Linux. It's good enough to where I don't even think about it anymore. I can even use pro-oriented audio software effectively. I can also use old devices that don't work on Windows, anymore, of which I own several (a keyboard and an audio interface I'd planned to get rid of, but don't really need to now that I can do most things under Linux). Which is kinda funny...now Linux is more likely to work flawlessly with a given piece of audio equipment than Windows. If only an official REAPER port would come along (I know it'll run under WINE, but there's also been rumblings of a Linux port for years, and I'd much rather run something that works natively)...

Reaper for Linux is already there. 100% native,no WINE required, and works great. http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/REAPER_for_Linux http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/REAPER_for_Linux

  Cool. I didn't find that last time I went looking for the current state of REAPER on Linux, but I did find blog posts that indicated it was being worked on. That's exciting news.

There do appear to be official but as-yet unsupported Linux builds: https://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/REAPER_for_Linux https://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/REAPER_for_Linux I had cause to try one for something small recently and it worked pretty well (including with PulseAudio). No idea how stable it is for serious use though.
