Which makes me wanna share an experience: Years ago I was hired to do
some gigs as an added, second keyboard player. I was running linux
(debian stable, but that doesn't matter) with all sounds from a homemade
csound setup and three usb keyboards. My setup ran flawlessly, whereas
the regular keyboard had to reboot his yamaha (motif something, I think)
a few times, AFAIR even once during a gig. That much for "hardware"
synths. BTW: I normally take my korg m50 on stage most of the time, when
it's just regular keyboard playing.
Tests
with openbox I'm doing at the moment shows that openbox at least on my
computer is buggy.
It's running smooth here...
It's
important to know what you are using, when you say "etc.". Linux could
be relatively good reliable, but you need to avoid usage of some
software, e.g. plugins.
Extremely true!
I prefer software developed by people with zero tolerance to bugs.
Renoise (although being far from perfect) is one good example of that. I
can't remember when I last had a crash in renoise, in fact not sure I
ever did. Been running it since round 2009...
