I'm looking to set up a machine for my stepdad to record and edit music on. Audacity is the first choice that comes to mind, but I'm wondering if there are better/more fitting to usecase options out there.

    Audacity is the actually FOSS answer, afaik. I've used it a lot, but not for music (much). It's not a DAW, but if it's just recording and stitching tracks together it will 100% work, and with some effort you can do fancier stuff.

    There's also Ardour and Zrythm which are more real DAWs Ithink? but I know nothing about them. Maybe try ardour if you already know you don't want to do audacity
