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?


It’s entirely possible it’s user error on my part but I have not had the same issue with other distros. Only distros running KDE/Plasma seem to have the issue.
Any KDE super users could probably take one look at my setup and be like “oh, you just need to toggle the dooble-gonger and set flops to 9600” but I am far too dumb
I mean, it could be. Intel integrated graphics don’t generally need additional drivers. That said, I have run KDE on stock Kubuntu and Debian and (outside of minor glitches, ofc) rarely had a problem.
