From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just use an old version of Audacity. Audacity was never a good DAW. It's like...
Sound Recorder is Notepad, Audacity is Wordpad, and your actual DAW is actual Word.
I've always seen the act of beefing-up and feature-bloating audacity as incredibly counter productive. Make it more efficient and lighter weight and streamline the UI. Make it start and stop VERY fast. And no logins or purchases or accounts or telemetry or any of that bullshit, Audacity is the desert island editor that requires no DRM or setup and will be the best balance of it-just-works and ability, given enough time.
That is why I use tenacity, it is excally what you discribed
