For me Ubuntu worked well for Audio except for one
thing: keeping
up to date. Many linux audio apps are changing fast
It's not just audio apps evolving fast. It's also maintainers living
in the past. I had to wait for OpenEXR update two or three years after
a major new version was out. And even now apt-cache search luxblend
returns zero results. This is why folks like KXStudio and autostatic
are our true and only saviours :)
ahh yeah, now I remember why it was so painful, not only compiling, but
first go looking if there was some PPA with the .deb, then adding it to
synaptic etc. I really got tired of it
why, if I understand correctly, are you using Ubuntu?
Because I'm too lazy to switch systems? Because since 10.04 they
provide subjectively best UI for GNOME I've seen in years that even
such a picky bastard like me doesn't want to switch? Because most
things just work? You name it :)
