I don't know if derivatives have followed suit or not...

I always post http://www.jackaudio.org/linux_rt_config when I read such
recommendations.
Since people usually are using Jack by a package, when thy use real-time
audio apps IMO it's ok to include it to a Jack package, anyway, IMO
there should be a dependency setting without nice and with memlock.
I just want to inform about this issue. Coders and package builder might
not be informed about what happens on non-audio users lists and forums.
FWIW very often there are recommendations to _avoid_ a kernel-rt, since
a distros 'default', 'desktop', 'generic' kernel should have the
same
capabilities and the kernel-rt should have disadvantages. The resume
then could be, that people wonder, that they can't use Linux for complex
audio sessions. Hi :)
could you please add a dependency to audio/MIDI app packages for your
distros, that will set up real-time usage?
The following issue is wide spread:

for the n-hundreth time: nice has no role to play in improving the
performance of pro-audio/music creation software. Be sure you are able to run audio apps with the
right
