Reminds me of a recent thread discussing Ardour (I think?). I mentioned that I wanted to make a headless synth for my 10yo nephews. I thought about using a Korg nanoKONTROL2 to operate a "headless" DAW. Paul Davis even replied and said that, for a bunch of 10 year olds, a DAW was overkill. Right on! But as this article says, the ability to record multiple tracks easily will make you fall in love with music again. Reading it, the thing that jumped out was when the author rejoiced at the fact that they didn't have to look at a fucking screen! Nailed it. Unfortunately I haven't progressed much with the kids headless "studio", except that I've decided to use 2x Raspberry Pis. One will be a headless synth only. The other will be a headless multi-track recorder, using the nanoKONTROL2 as the interface. Gonna be a pain in the ass to build, but if I get it working to any degree of usefulness I'll post.
