I have a question for anyone who actively follows this account. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to make my own music just using my linux machine and a regular keyboard? I have looked into a few different ways and am not entirely certain how to do it.

@herag Trade in your Linux machine, work hard, and buy a Mac, so you can run GarageBand (and later Logic Pro, if you need it).

Linux audio barely works, sometimes, for streamed playback, it's very high-latency and pretty much unusable for audio creation or editing. Even Windows is less bad. But Mac OS X puts hard real-time constraints on audio.

.. if you don't have a realtime kernel and put everything through pulseaudio.
