I've been interested in learning how to make electronic music (e.g. Geometry dash, Undertale, Daft Punk, C418), but there doesn't seem to be any real documentation or tutorials on how to start.To summarize my question: a.) What are the first 3 steps (or more) to learn to compose music? b.) Any links, resources etc. to share?Thanks for your time and interest.

I heard about the sandboxing being especially sketchy, thanks for a point in the right direction for mitigation.

Additionally, any thoughts on snap? (presently looking into Flatpak)
