Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)

To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

For the past two months, Ubuntu Studio has been my go-to Linux distribution, surpassing any others I've used. It stands out for its simplicity, stability, robustness, and remarkable flexibility. While there's always room for improvement with any software, Ubuntu Studio's biggest strength lies in its extensive customization options. This allows users to tailor the experience to their exact workflow, making it a perfect fit for creators of all stripes.

My own system boasts an i7-7500u processor, 8GB of RAM, and a speedy 256GB SSD. Even with this setup, Ubuntu Studio effortlessly handles demanding applications. This smooth performance makes it ideal for audio production, video editing, and graphic design tasks. Overall, Ubuntu Studio is a powerful and user-friendly platform that empowers creative professionals to bring their visions to life.

I was looking for a distro focused on music production, because I wanted to see how much difference there was with Windows.
I could install Debian and follow some guides to optimize it for my goal, but I wanted something ready to use without doing anything.
When I realized that there was a version of Ubuntu specifically build for this reason, I had to give it a try.

It's still Ubuntu, that means that it's fairly easy to use; the only reason why I didn't like that much was for the Snap situation.
Anyway, the installation process was pretty straightforward and easy to understand, I didn't have any issues.

I really like the fact that has a low latency kernel, and that it comes with a lot of useful software.
Ardour is a great daw, and there is a good choice of plugins to use. You can use LV2 plugins as well as VST, which is great.
The Jack server also works great, and I like to set it up using Patchance, one of the preinstalled apps.
There are also some good instruments (like a synth called "Yoshimi"), along with useful audio programming software like pure-data (I'm using that in one of my university classes).

The default desktop is a custom themed version of KDE; it may not be super lightweight, but if you have a decent pc you will have no issues running that. It also looks good and it is pretty well organized.

Anyway, this distro is also useful if you are into video editing or graphic design, there's a lot of software also for that.
But this is in my opinion the reason why I'm not giving a 10 out of 10: the installer won't let me choose what software I want, but it will install everything. That means that I will have to remove manually all of the useless (for me obviously) apps. You can actually achieve that by installing any of the Ubuntu flavors and than use the official Ubuntu Studio install script, which it will let you choose what to install.

I've tried other distros like AV Linux, and despite the fact that AV features a newer version of Adrour (8.2.0 vs 7.5.0) and even more plugins, I don't like the direction where it's going. That means that I will stick with Ubuntu Studio.

I have been looking for a new distribution since OpenSuSE has been failing to fix certain things, namely the multimedia codecs and the fact that many packages keep failing their download checksums. I have been pleasantly surprised by Ubuntu Studio 23.04 which has worked flawlessly with whatever I have thrown at it, and it has stayed nimble quick and always responsive.

I do wish that it had a single administration application, as i really miss Yast from SuSE which really spoiled me. The selection of software is also great, and stuff just works.

I will in the future be looking to download and configure many applications useful for architecture (I am an architect) and I think now maybe there is a critical mass in that space, and I can find enough applications to build a completely useful and free software stack to do architectural work.
