If DAW means Digital Audio Workstation, have you tried Ardour?
I've been using Fruityloops for over 20 years. I've tried loads of stuff, but my workflow is pretty stuck in the FL ecosystem. I haven't tried Ardour yet, definitely willing to give it a go, but when I'm in the mood to punch something out really quick, I already know all the keybinds, how things interact etc etc. I've started using Sunvox a bit. It's a modular synth/tracker runs one everything shy of an actual potato....I think doom is the only thing I know about that runs on more systems than Sunvox. But it's painful when I want to just diddle something quick that's stuck in my head.
Depending on how long ago that was, you may have a much better experience. Linux now has a new audio subsystem that is low latency, and generally just works out of the box with DAW's now.
FL studio is known to work well in wine, but third party VSTs can be hit or miss.
FL studio has "worked well in wine" for ages now, I've never managed to get it properly functioning. Like I said, I'll give it another try, not willing to have recall running on my machines.
Fl does work with wine, I have used versions of it in the past quite flawlessly. There is an easy one click installer in the bottles interface for FL, give it a try!
EDIT: I say prior versions because I have since switched to bitwig, such a cool process flow!
Like I replied to someone else FL has been "running well in wine" for ages now. I've just never managed to get it functioning at all, like I wasn't having audio issues or anything...because the one click wouldn't work for me, and manually setting it never worked for me either. It's been about 2 years now since I tried, and this recall bullshit means that if I can't get it running I'll just switch to something else and change my workflow.
