<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br><br>after many years of studio work using the openSuse distro with the kernel-rt from Jan Engelhard it seems that he no longer continues his great work on rt kernels.<br>Being more on the recording engineer side of things and not a Linux expert (user yes, expert no) I really fret at the thought of patching and compiling my own kernel package.<br>
<div><br></div><div>I would like to hear your opinions on what distro is solid for audio work and has a reliable rt kernel.</div><div>Also I would appreciate if you could explain the degree of difficulty and learning curve of the specific distro.</div>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Hi Moshe.<br><br>Given that I'm involved in the team, I would say give a try to Musix [1]. We're now working on version 3 beta, so you may want to try Musix 2 downloading the live CD or the USB version (this way you can have a look without installing anything on your computer) until v3 is published.<br>
I have to tell you that Musix v3 it's going to be a great jump forward compared to v2.<br><br>Musix always put an eye on non experienced users, and it's of course RT an all those great things that linux distros have (actually Musix is based on Debian)<br>
<br>To add some more choice to those great responses here in this thread, a would mention KXstudio[2]. I liked it when I tested some time ago, nice and well finished.<br>
