![]() ![]() 100 plug-ins were added to this release, on top of the ones already available. OBS Studio is pre-configured right out of the box, for live streaming and screencasting. (For visuals, think Blender, game engines, and custom code.) Now that Bitwig Studio, Renoise, VCV Rack, Pure Data, SuperCollider, and lots of other cool software to play live all run on Linux, that’s no small matter. I also have to say, as a musician the other appeal to me of Linux is, I can still use my main OS as the day-to-day OS, loaded down with lots of software and focusing on things like battery life, while maintaining a dual boot Linux OS both as a backup OS for live use and one I can optimize for low-latency performance. If you don’t mind doing the distro update, though, 19.10 has some really terrific features. Crucially, the Ubuntu Studio team now add “backports” though so that you can use the newer packages on the LTS release – so you don’t have to constantly upgrade your OS just to get the latest features. Ubuntu alternates between long-term support (LTS) releases and more frequent releases with newer features. For those unOS familiar with Ubuntu – look closely at those numbers – that’s October 2019. Let’s talk about what it is – because the latest distro release looks really terrific. ![]() Heck, you can usually get more novice-friendly advice just by Googling a problem and adding the word “Ubuntu” on the end.īut that’s all what you’d hope Ubuntu Studio would be. But because some package management focuses on Ubuntu (and Debian), because it’s the platform where a lot of the action is as far as consumer desktop OS features, and just because so many beginners are on the platform, it matters. That’s not to say it’s the best distro for you – part of the beauty of Linux is the endless choice it affords, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Ubuntu remains the OS distribution most targeted by mainstream developers and most focused on easy end user operation. (Uh, maybe frustrations with certain mainstream OSes even helped.)Īnd that’s important for the Linux ecosystem at large. But starting around 2018, it saw renewed interest. Ubuntu Studio for a while had gone semi-dormant open source projects need that volunteer support to thrive. It’s a solid alternative to Mac and Windows you can easily dual boot. The volunteer-run Ubuntu Studio isn’t just a great Linux distribution for beginners wanting to make music, visuals, and media. ![]()
