I want to be able to use my voice to coordinate with my team in games, but the harassment for being a girl is too much to deal with. Is there any good Linux software that can modify my voice to sound male?
Waves VST are a quite a bit more involved, you will want to sort of follow the instructions here: https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins just ignore any linvst (if any) stuff and at the end do the sync process as described in yabridge. Make sure yabridge is searching the plugins in the right path, in my case this is what yabridge list shows:

Is Cubase on Linux an option?
The main problem with Linux audio is the lack of support for most Windows VST plugins, but u-he make all their plugins for Linux and they are some of the best. You can also use https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst as an emulator.

Waves R-Bass Free in Bitwig Circle
https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins There are some instructions for it on linvst github, may work with yabridge too but I haven't tested it as I don't like creating unnecessary accounts everywhere and waiting for some discussion here if plugin is worth it :)

Show HN: LinuxDAW – Quality audio software for Linux
> To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case?
Yes, although I would recommend Yabridge rather than linvst.
https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge
It should be already packaged in some Linux distros, but building and installation are straightforward. Basically it installs some libraries and an executable which once called will convert a Windows plugin in .dll form in a Linux+WINE loadable .so library.

What Is the Future of the DAW?
If you use the Linux port, you may want to use Yabridge to load Windows VSTs in a transparent way.
