Hi Kevin,
this is a big question. The flippant answer is: it depends. :)
A little less so: JACK, PipeWire, ALSA and PulseAudio are audio drivers.
There are many tools to work with a subset of those. If you mainly think about
importing and cutting field recordings, basic ALSA could be enough, depending
on your tool.
Audacity, to my knowledge, still exists. IIRC the dispute surrounding it got
resolved in the end. Others here would know far more.
Perhaps you would get better and more concise answers, if you could list the
tasks that you'd like to perform: import and edit audio. Recording your own
voiceover? Mix in music? Produce some music for for your podcast? How much
mastering would you like? Do you expect to work more live or work by setting
things up and then simply rendering to disk?
All these things might help to narrow it down?
Perhaps even: which software might you be studying with? The particular
workflow or main focus of your software at college might narrow down the most
likely choices.
Sorry, for being of little help and instead providing more questions than
answers.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
