I'm looking to set up a machine for my stepdad to record and edit music on. Audacity is the first choice that comes to mind, but I'm wondering if there are better/more fitting to usecase options out there.

Seconding Reaper. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of Ardour and the Linux version of Reaper is more stable than Ardour in my experience. Even though it’s not open source, it’s essentially an indie project and it’s extremely well made. I hope that it will be open sourced when the guy retires.
