> Ardour felt kinda clunky, like if I moved wrong it would crash
I'd say Ardour is one of the more mature(re: stable) open-source solutions on linux and has a fair bit of development effort behind it.
Personally usability wise I never quite figured it out, although it seems fairly feature packed (if you can figure it out)
Apparently Qtractor also supports non-destructive audio editing but I haven't really tried it yet.
Aside from that I know this is a thread on open-source, but I will point out Reaper has experimental native Linux builds which I've found to work quite well and Reaper (not $0, but minor nag screen) is also non-destructive.
