Apart from the YouTube stuff, I’m similar. Writing, arranging, recording, mixing, etc. Simply because I enjoy it.
It’s been a while, though. First came kids and other life-related things to take up most of my time. Plus I migrated to linux in 2014 or thereabouts. But I recently found a DAW that I like, and that works great on linux, so as soon as I find a decent drum and piano synth I’m back in (not doing) business.

Does your DAW not have those built in or are you after hardware?
There are built in ones, but I want something realistic sounding to go with my (real) guitars
Most modern DAWs will have plenty of realistic sounds, it’s getting them to play realistically that’s difficult.
Edit: forgot you use Linux.
