It's completely free to try Reaper tho..
I did try it a while back but stopped after only a short try out because I couldn't work out how to do audio punch-in recording (also a problem with qtractor and rosegarden for me last time I tried it). Also there was some suggestion that reaper on wine didn't scale that well with multiple tracks vs. Windows. Didn't have a change to test that tho. I also got too caught up with trying which vsts I could get to work stably and wasted a lot of time!!!
In the end I do most of my live recordings in mixbus which is quite good but fairly heavy to run, and no midi, which is a bit of a problem but jack transport with hydrogen/seq24 is quite good. Last time I tried ardour 3 it wasn't quite there for me. For electronic or loop-based live instruments I still think renoise is the best option.
