hardwarepirate··on Linux DAW: Help Linux musicians to quickly and easily find the tools they need
i can recommend renoise, not sequencer, but a tracker, used for creating demo tracks (the music in cracks) or genres like breakcore, jungle, edm. venetian snares uses it after he used cubase in the 90s/00s.

it's rather customisable, reasonably priced and just works great as a daw for electronic music.

https://renoise.com/download it even comes with a demo and it's own vst for other daw'.

https://www.kite.com for python

i first learned about it when i was working in an university group and had the task to transform a windowing algorithm already working on matlab to python. it felt like a modern linter and lsp with additional support through machine learning. i don't quite know why it got comparative small recognition, but perhaps enough to remain an avantgarde pioneering both python and machine learning support for further generations and wider applications.
