Bitwig has native Linux builds though? Should be very easy, last time I tried it, it was literally click-and-play basically.

Ableton is another beast altogether, and I've also been trying to get it running for years at this point, no end in sight. Last time I tried, after being recommended https://github.com/BEEFY-JOE/AbletonLiveOnLinux (now sadly archived), I managed to get the actual UI to render and be interactive, but still couldn't get proper audio to work with my interface, only software rendered audio, so the quest continues...

Yes Bitwig is simple. Getting it to work on Nix took the slim layer I made.

No layer is needed. Bitwig is Linux native.

Yes I'm glad Bitwig 6 finally hit Nixpkgs making it truly natively reproducible and easy to use.
