[LAU] mididings alternative for ubuntu studio 20.04 and newer?

[Brandon Hale]

I came here just to let you know that I had problems like this with 
Ubuntu as well. I wanted to let you know, though, that if you want more 
reliable access to software like this, an Arch-based system may help 
you. I constantly had problems of not having new-enough software, and 
compiling things from source, only to find that I didn't have new-enough 
libraries to compile software. When I switched to Arch though, that all 
changed. Packages install faster, I am able to compile whatever I need, 
I don't need to compile a lot of software, and the AUR even has 
mididings if your fix stops working for you! And, there is a pro-audio 
group package that installs tons of great audio software.

If you are interested in Arch and want some help, feel free to message 
me, I can help you out. Try out Manjaro and see if you like that, it 
gives you an install of Arch with everything setup for you.
