I'm probably not about to start compiling stuff. I don't understand enough about it and I currently don't have the patience.

Linux is a valid system for DAW use. It is a bit slim on plugins at this point and also on audio card support but also it's a lot better than even a few years ago in those regards. If there's some particular thing in terms of software or hardware support that it doesn't currently have, which you want, I understand. But to say Linux is not a valid system for a DAW is a bit extreme. I'm guessing you want something like Kontakt to be available as a native Linux option?
