I haven’t actually found linuxmusicians.com very helpful. Thay have a lot of unanswered questions, including mine 😊. I didn’t realize they had a facebook page, but then I boycott facebook.
Before I tried fedora jam, I tried ubuntu studio, avlinux, and kxstudio. I got nowhere with those, and couldn’t find any help – y'all are the first live humans I’ve encountered on this quest. >From what I’ve been able to tell, the ‘make music on linux movement’ started shutering a couple years ago. Then I read in Phoronix that Fedora Jam would either shuter or release a version 33. So I checked and you had a 33 download. Fedora is really my last try at this before heading back to windows.
