Ubuntu Studio vs Linux Mint

[BarBryzze]

Hi. I'd like to try out Linux (again) and came across Ubuntu Studio. Idk if I should get the studio distro or use mint and download the software as I want/need it. Since this is all a bit new I'd like to thing Studio would be the best, since it's already packaged with software I'd use but is it as stable/good as Mint/regular Ubuntu? Again, Idk if Studio just comes with additional software or something else has or needs to been done with it to get it working properly. I'm on win10, backing up my data right now because I want to run win10 when needed from a virtual machine in Linux rather than the other way around and use win10 as my main OS.
Is there anyhting I need to be aware of or I can potentially ruin when overlooked? I'm going to boot from a thumb drive to check things out first, but I'm also looking for feedback from people who use Studio or have used it. It looks good on the website, can't really find actual negative comments or reviews but that's a little weird to me. Why aren't more people complaining? I mean, Reaper got updated a few days ago and the amount of people being pissed off online about a little bug or even a change of color is substantiable.
TIA for your advice.

The only way to know which is best for you is to create bootable media of each distro and try each one of them.

Keep in mind running as a live disto will be a bit slower and not the same as installed on a hard drive or SSD.

Welcome to the forums I'm going to strictly answer the topic title.

Ubuntu Studio is but only one flavor of Ubuntu, with KDE Plasma desktop. It was changed in last year's LTS release "Jammy Jellyfish", away from XFCE. This flavor of Ubuntu is the largest there is in content probably except for one other, the Chinese one "Kylin" (shrugs).

Are you a music producer by hobby? Or somebody who is deep into creating Anime or other animated motion picture and stuff like that? Ubuntu Studio comes with a lot of software in that pursuit.

The Ubuntu "flavors" largely differ only by the desktop they come with. "Ubuntu" has GNOME. There is Kubuntu which seems to look like Ubuntu Studio but has less software. Xubuntu has XFCE as desktop. And so on.

Linux Mint is more for ordinary people. It will come with almost no multimedia-creation software. So the ISO is at least 1.5GiB lighter. There is the ordinary Linux Mint based on Ubuntu, and there is "LMDE" which is based on Debian, which is the "common ancestor" of the two.

It is up to you to give either distro plenty of your time, if you are able. Then decide if you want to stay with it. Don't be confused nor intimidated by the large choice out there. Stay with a couple of things at a time and check them out.

TL;DR About REAPER and much more. It comes in three platforms: Windows, MacOS and Linux. Windows has been the main one since the beginning around 2004. The "native" Linux version came around circa v5, didn't read the whole changelog closely at that point. I had a license until v4, cannot afford one right now and I don't like how it has been bloated.

Keep in mind that Linux is not like Windows! If you come from using equipment and plug-ins, the procedure from WIndows to Linux will be a little bit different. If you expect to use VST3 plug-ins, it will have to be in the format expected by the operating system. If you rely a lot on Windows stuff, like I do (but I'm into VST2 32-bit) you will need to install Wine on Linux. Without Wine, there cannot be any emulation of Windows on Linux. The "native" version of REAPER only recognizes Linux-format executables whether they are VST3, LV2, CLAP or whatever. It will not care about Wine or Windows-format plug-ins. You will have to install Wine and use the Windows version of REAPER in order to deal with Windows-executable format plug-ins.

This might sound hard, and it is because a lot of stuff doesn't work properly. At my end, I cannot use VST3 plug-ins at all because I have to take up largely free software like Kushview Element.

Do not recklessly choose Linux only because you are desperate to get away from one aspect of Windows. It could potentially kill passion for what you are doing creatively. Ubuntu Studio could deliver the goods, but the software it comes with could be had with other distros. The thing is that in Ubuntu Studio, many things will be configured to maximize the experience as much as possible. You could easily do worse than this.(*) There is Ardour, which is a DAW but it is quite different from REAPER; basically, it is frustrating to a person like me who is used to working with freeware trackers. Qtractor is another program similar to REAPER but might be less impressive for you. It requires MIDI files to store plug-in automation. :O These two programs, and others require Linux-executable format stuff, not Windows.

These days I have an old copy of REAPER largely for time-stretching. I still have to use it despite the developments with Audacity lately.

I am not a professional music producer, only a hobbyist. There is another site to look for better information about making music with Linux:

LinuxMusicians - Index page

(*) It is possible to choose Linux Mint instead and install Wine and other applications for the side of music, but many things will have to be optimized for audio. Because ALSA and JACK could be a demanding bunch.

G'day @BarBryzze and welcome to linux.org

An alternative option is available to you, which you can use from any flavour of Ubuntu (well, you wouldn't need to with Studio) or Linux Mint.

sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer

This will allow you to choose any or all of Studio's features.

You can read about it here.

https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer/

I have not used it myself, so no guarantees from me.

If you do decide to try it, I would advocate use of Timeshift to take a snapshot in case you need to restore.

Under Ubuntu you can get that from the Software Centre, under Mint it is already installed by default.

TL;DR About REAPER and much more.

Thanks for that elaborate info! It's just that I wanted to try out something new. I've used Ubuntu like a decade ago and when I saw reaper runs on linux it reminded me of that. Then I came across Ubuntu Studio and figured why not. I have an Electribe 2 with hacked firmware, which I was only able to install after they released a windows gui. I felt kinda stupid so I want to see more of that too. Also own a xoxbox that can load custom firmware, don't think I'll do it but I want to know how anyway. I don't rely on vst's that much, if it can send and record midi/audio I'm good atm. I'm not used to a particular workflow yet, and also curious to what Ardour has to offer. I completely forgot about it until today. I want to keep having acces to windows for the occasional game or need to access something quickly before I know my way around Linux yet. Windows has been slowing down my pc considerably the past 6 months because I for sure didn't do it so I'm annoyed by that too, especially because I don't know what it's doing, I can't tell from what I see. But it's a I7 4770 with 16Gb of DDR3 RAM and a 500Gb old Intel SSD so it might want some weight of it's back. I'm a bit worried about drivers for my audio/midi interface and stuff, but not too much.
I also need a good sequencer for another synth and it seems dumb not to use the pc since it can do all that and more.

G'day @BarBryzze and welcome to linux.org

Thank you very much!

Hello @BarBryzze,
Welcome to the linux.org forum. I can't add a lot to what others have already said. Just try them out see which one will meet most of your needs and is a pleasure to operate.

Oops! I was quite busy yesterday. So, I'll blame that.

@BarByzze - I wrote this yesterday and shared it in the wrong thread.

Ubuntu Studio uses a low-latency kernel (not a real-time kernel), something Mint doesn't ship with. In theory, I've never done so, one could change the kernel with Mint, but that's beyond what I'd recommend to a beginner.

UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel - Community Help Wiki

@BarBryzze :-

The one thing common to ALL specialist media-creation-oriented OSs is their use of a "real-time" kernel, which drastically cuts down on latency (as a media creator, you'll know what I mean by this).

One of our veteran Puppy Forum members, who went by the name of "10wt3ch" ('Low-tech') - now, alas, long-departed - built his own DAW OS, originally based around Slackware 13.37.....hence the name (which stuck through several iterations) of Studio 1337. At one time, he was making a wee bit of baccy money out of it; had his own website, and just charged for the cost price of a good-quality flash drive with Studio 1337 pre-installed.

It eventually fell by the wayside; domain hosting and certification costs came & went, and didn't get renewed. 10wt3ch ended up making it available to the community, free-of-charge, then that, too, was soon discontinued. I snagged a copy while I could, which is now at my MediaFire a/c for anyone that wants it; the final release, v3.3, is based around Bionicpup, itself based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver".

Puppy takes a bit of getting used to.....but Studio 1337 is an excellent , totally portable self-contained DAW; you just unzip the tarball to a flash drive and run it from there. It's a DAW you can carry around in your pocket. Everything you could possibly want OR need is pre-installed (and THEN some). The Linux port of Reaper is there, as is the Windows build running under WINE.

If you want to take it for a test drive, you can find it here:-

Studio 1337

Both ISO and unzip-to-stick versions are there. It's well worth a look.

I've been watching more tutorials and reading up on Linux when I have time before jumping into it after seeing a response on LTT's video about switching to Linux and realizing I'm also very conditioned to Windows, so I'm trying to figure out what can go wrong and try making sure I got that covered. Downloaded Studio 1337, thanks for that!

It did not go well. My soundcard stopped working after I installed Linux. I was running it from a thumb drive most of the day, then did a full install and everything kinda stopped working. I can't even watch a video on YouTube anymore. All I did was install Linux Mint from that same thumb drive. On top of that I got locked out of my Firefox account by mistake. Going to try again tomorrow.

So yeah, there's no audio anymore. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 1st gen that looks like it's working just fine, but there's nothing coming through after I did a full install. No playback via usb, not via the analog inputs.
Onboard audio is working when I plug in my headphones into the pc, so there's something wrong with the interface. I don't have windows installed anymore so I don't know if it still works on there. It's probably a routing/software issue but I have no idea where to start looking.
Going to begin with a new download and clean install now.

I tried this https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=377183 but no luck.
It lead me to this https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=322259 yet also a dead end.
Installed pavucontrol and a signal is being detected going in and out, both internal and external (youtube and analog inputs). The only noise coming from my monitors or headphones is the crackling of a dusty potmeter.
This is the output of my terminal now. What am I missing? I don't need jack for this to work right? The ISO is an official Linux mint distro, installation was flawless. TIA.
