The biggest problem I find with laptops is that they stick all USB ports on
the same internal hub, even though the underlying system supports 5 or 6. Grrr!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Yet on my i7 laptop, audio works with hyperthreading just fine.
It is in performance mode, though. I think keeping a steady clock is
more important for RT audio than the number of threads. So, what is the general recommendation for people
who want to work
with audio on
a laptop that isn't necessarily dedicated to audio?
My personal recomendation is whatever with xfce. I don't think it
matters if it is debian or redhat (or whatever). XFCE seems to be the
lowest resource user for a desktop that the average user will feel
comfortable with. My wife and sons use xubuntu with no complaint and I
have had no trouble running audio. Yes, I have added some tweaks but
honestly, I don't think anyone even halfway serious about audio should
expect to do at least some tweaking of a system.
- find out which USB port to use
- real time and memory locking permissions
- swappiness
- no boost
- performance mode
- no hyperthread
- etc.
