The last couple of days I finally got Tidal Cycles installed and running.
https://tidalcycles.org
The automatic install never worked here, but the manual path went without a hitch.
It uses Supercollider as the audio backend and Haskell as the programming language.
There are really good video tutorials available:

And once you have it all set up and start getting it, it feels like I can throw out 200 sequencers, arpeggiators, manglers and whatnot and still get 100 times more options and much better results.
It synchronises via Ableton Link, so it's very easy to integrate, very light on the CPU and has a thriving community.
Needs a certain mindset/brain to enjoy it being code based, but man the return is massive joy![:-)]( "Smile")
Alternatively, there is a version that runs in the browser:
https://strudel.cc
Sonic-PI is an easier install and more contained, otherwise similar:
https://sonic-pi.net
So if you feel like trying something different from the old DAW, I can highly recommend it.
Here I use it with Tooll3 (https://tooll.io) a realtime graphics application that also supports Ableton Link:

P.S. all of this is open source...![:tu:]( "Thumbs Up!")
