I’ve been searching around for the right linux raft I need to jump off of the sinking microsoft ship, and I am currently considering giving Ubuntu Studio a go. My primary activities are music production and gaming, so the massive number of creative tools that are available seem like it would really level up my music production game, and possibly inspire me to try out some other creative avenues as well. It’s kind of amazing to see the possibilities with all the free software out there these days.

So, does anyone use Ubuntu Studio, and do you have any tips or any things to watch out for as far as quirks? Would this be a good option as a first install, or should I go with something else?

    You can install anything you want via their flatpak app, which is pre-setup (unlike ubuntustudio that does come with media apps, but doesn’t have an easy way to get flatpaks going – it only has snaps).

      I am not familiar with flat packs vs snaps, I will have to look into that. I’m not opposed to learning different file systems if need be, it’s all new to me anyway, but if one is easier than the other I would probably go with that.
