I use Lilypond (but not Frescobaldi -- don't know if it works, I think
it probably does) on Debian/unstable. Both the package from the
official Debian repository and building from source work well.
The official Debian version of lilypond is older (2.18.x), so I build
directly from git (2.19.x) instead. I use both versions, usually 2.19
for more complex projects where I need 2.19 features, and 2.18 for
smaller experiments and such. So far, I haven't encountered any major
problems with either version.
Since Ubuntu & co. are Debian-based, the above probably applies to them
too. I don't recommend vanilla Debian for first-time Linux users;
Ubuntu is probably more friendly and accessible, though both share the
same core.
