You may have already heard this but Bitwig runs on Linux and has an Ableton-like workflow, as well as a richer effects system, I'm told.
Bitwig user here - it's developed by former Ableton developers and the sandboxing system they use for plug-ins makes it rock-solid. Even when a plug-in does crash (which is rare) - it doesn't take the entire DAW with it.

I too want ableton on Linux but then what about our vsts. Would we need a Linux version for all those too?

Dumb question but have you tried running Ableton via Wine/Proton?
I can't wait for Ableton to (eventually) get their thumbs out of their asses and make Ableton work on Linux so I can dump Windows fully.
Written from my Linux X1 Carbon which also somehow magically works on my patio, don't ask me how.
