Ok so many people are commenting that this article is out of date.
I've been searching for what the best out-of-the-box music Linux distro would be, so I can dual boot that for any music work. Namely it must have:
- jack set up and default for everything
- complete DAW solution: synth set up etc
- updated, stable software
- MIDI set up fully
- real time kernel is definitely a plus
- acceptable performance on modest hardware
A lot of the recommendations online like Musix are not current at all! I wonder if Ubuntu Studio is the answer, just purely based on the website being updated and professional-looking. I've considered KXstudio but cannot confirm that it is a distro rather than a software repo. AVLinux?
Any firsthand experience?
I will test Ubuntu Studio today and report back
