So what you are saying is that we will never be able to do it :)

Oh come on, you should know me at least well enough to know I don't believe that and certainly didn't say it:)

I heartily disagree. Tweaking OS to get things done comes *before* you
start meddling with Ardour and isn't required all the time.

The problem is that most of the time it is.

That makes
it possible to just write an Appendix that will cover several
distributions, while bloody well focusing on Ardour. So what's the
problem?

In that case you are writing a manual for Ardour, so wanna join the work already in progress that you just wrote about?;)

Of course the appendixes would require constant maintenence and would be exceedinly numerous as there are numerous distributions used in pro audio on Linux. That, I think but am not certain, is why the FLOSS manual covered Ubuntu to a limited degree and left it there. Trying to cover all of them is quite challenging and requires much more time than they had.
