It is Qt based ui, cross-platform, open source and the linux backend is implemented with jack. Audio is transported with the opus codec with very high quality and down to 5ms latency. Jack buffer size of 128 is working the best and make sure to have direct monitoring of your own end so you do not have the latency on you own instrument - which is really annoying. And also make sure to set up a talk-back microphone to get the optimal experience. it does come with a chat interface but nothing beats being able to talk to each other between songs. I have set up a local server and played with my own band in that way and it worked almost as good as being in the rehearsal room with them. A bonus is that the server can capture all the seperate streams in wav files and chain them together in a reaper session file (I know, not Ardour :( ... but at least it is there) so you can do a rough mix of the session afterward.
