I used Tux Guitar in my Linux days, and that worked well enough for what I needed it for as a Guitar Pro substitute.
As a curmudgeon I must ask - why did you abandon linux?
No reason in particular, and technically it's still my most used OS if we're counting Android.
Most of my work is on company Windows laptops, and most of my personal things are just done on my phone these days.
I do have a few old laptops I keep alive with Linux LiveUSBs of various things, but I did live from the end of the XP years until Windows 7 with just Linux at home.
Still a lover of FOSS, and always try to find a solution there first when I need new software, but I never became a zealot. The older I get, the more I want stuff to "just work," so I don't mind if the solution is open or not, for example.
I would like to play around with a current "full power" distro again, but the next computer I actually purchase will likely be for music production, so it will also probably be Windows just so I don't need to worry about compatibility.
