Non
Non is a suite of tools loosely bound together because they were designed by the same person, and are meant to not go together (or rather, they are meant to remain modular and independent from one another). The Non suite includes a timeline, a sequencer, mixer, and session manager.
Strengths [Weaknesses]
Modular
If you just need a mixer, then you can launch the Non mixer and use it. If you just need a session manager, you can use Non Session Manager. Non is a set of independent tools, and they are meant to be used in whatever mixture of audio tools that happens to work best for you.
Weaknesses [Strengths]
Non-Intuitive
There is a slight learning curve to get up and running with Non, even if you have had experience on both Linux DAWs and stand-alone JACK tools.
Install

Usage
Non calls itself a “non DAW” because while it is a suite of tools that you would normally find in a DAW, each tool is a stand-alone application that can be launched and used on its own. For most, the major appeal of Non is its modularity; you can use one or two Non tools, or you can use them all, and in both cases you can use all of the other Linux audio tools as well.
There are four major user-facing components.
