@Logan Please download the Bitwig Studio demo for Linux and or Windows, try it out as a replacement for FL Studio and review it. It looks and seems like a very good audio studio that could make your transition to Linux much easier.
Bitwig supports VSTs.
Oh man this looks cool. Gonna check it out myself.
They also state that they recommend using JACK audio for the sound routing/processing. You can tie Bitwig to Ardour DAW via JACK as well as a bunch of other tools for effects and sequencing etc all via JACK.
Stallman does not approve

But this does seem like a pretty comprehensive music editor. Would like to see a review in the future.
I don't know many people who actually give a rat's gluteus maximus about what RMS thinks in terms of one program over another. Especially in the case of paid software.
I used the demo. Very good. Have only tried it on windows so far. Very similar to Ableton.
give it a shot on Linux. Especially when you pair it with JACK audio server.
