There is a thread on gearslutz.com about this..... a very long thread
(215 pages at the moment). See:

I personally use Harrison Mixbus on Linux for all of my production DAW
needs, with any mastering that might need doing after the
top-of-the-line Harrison DSP handled in Mac OS X by Audiofile
Engineering's Triumph and iZotope's Ozone. These days I've found that
the Harrison plugin bundles in Mixbus have drastically reduced my need
for Ozone, and so the only post-mix processing I do is exporting to mp3
or whatever using either lame from the command line or Audacity if I
want to do a quick audition of what Mixbus generated.
Mixbus is a fantastic DAW; the mixer acts just like an analog desk (and
Harrison desks are seriously high-end), and if you have a supported
control surface you can mix as if you were at an analog desk. I'm using
CentOS 7, and so far for straight mixdown production with Mixbus 2.5 I
haven't had any issues at all, with the minor exception of getting
qjackctl to build. I need to pull out the Tascam US224 or US428 I have
and see if low-latency overdubs and punch-ins still work well. No,
Mixbus is not fully open-source; the DSP plugin (which uses LADSPA) is
closed source, but the DAW is based on Ardour 2.x and is fully open
source. It's well worth the price for serious production, though.
