Don't listen to these people; Ubuntu/Fedora/Etc are _garbage_ by default, and have been for years. You're having issues with PulseAudio, systemd, and NetworkManager. Use a distribution that doesn't use these, or one that makes it easy to remove them. Calculate Linux[0] is the easiest base with which to yank these tumors out of your life, because it has eudev and OpenRC installed by default. Easy to install, and simple to maintain. it's Gentoo, but without all that building of source, and only a 15-minute install. it's simple to install JACK[1], Cadence[2] and wpa_gui after you rip out NetworkManager and PulseAudio (or if you need skype, make PA the slave of JACK). Second place goes to KXStudio[3], but only because it's an outdated (good) debian/ubuntu core, and uses JACK/Cadence by default. Third place is Void, which, while technically freer (and has LibreSSL!), is not as easy an install as KXStudio or Calculate. All are nice and stable, though. After removing PulseAudio and NetworkManager from your computer, you'll be astounded at how stable linux is again. 0. http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/download http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/download 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBD-wsMiZCk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBD-wsMiZCk 2. http://gpo.zugaina.org/media-sound/cadence http://gpo.zugaina.org/media-sound/cadence 3. http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/ http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/
