Any recommendations for easy-to-use Linux distribution for audio production? I might try PipeWire installation too if it’s stable and compatible enough.
I’ve been using debian based distros for 10+ years for now: started with Ubuntus and the last half I’ve spent with Debian 9/10 but I’ve become tired of fixing things. I’ve considered MX Linux and LMDE. I have some experience with them already (although haven’t tried Mint’s Debian variant yet).
For years I’ve been bridging JACK and pulseaudio, but it’s never been optimal, hence considering PipeWire. I read somewhere that wire plumber package in MX is broken. Not sure about the current state. I probably need to know things like these beforehand when installing a distro or another.

I have tried some KXStudio and Ubuntu Studio stuff first time about 10 years ago. I guess that’s still a valid option too.
Also I’ve already made my whole discography purely under Linux for 10+ years, no turning back. There’s still that much stubbornness left :p
I applaud the stubbornness. If enough people are stubborn enough, maybe linux pro audio some day becomes less of a mess.
I’ve tried every couple of years since 2006 to see if I could finally ditch my windows/mac box, since making music is my last hurdle, but it’s still been too much of a chore for me. I make music to get rid of computer-induced stress, so it’s the one place where I’m not interested in configuring for days.
