Dear Hivemind, any distro suggestions for light #linuxaudio purposes?
Hardware: Thinkpad W530 + Scarlett 2i2 Software: Transcribe, Renoise and possibly Reaper
For a change I'd like to have something low maintenance that I can just power on and play bass 馃槑
@ekari since you know Arch, you could consider CachyOS, it would be easy for you to install and get started.
If you need low latency, use Millisecond from Flathub to get you rolling.
PipeWire is working really well.
I actually think Reaper is an option in the easy install gui on opening, which installs from from the Cachy repo
@ekari ubuntu Studio would be a typical suggestion. The benefit is that it's set up with all the best open source audio and media software out of the box.
But I always think Debian is the least hassle of all distros and it's not like it's hard to install software.
@ekari in case it sounds like I'm not recommending Ubuntu Studio, it's what I'm running right now and it works great. 馃檪
If you've not installed Linux distros before, there's really a lot of preference in it, and most people tend to try a few things before they settle on what they like the best.
