I wouldn't call linux-rt from the AUR too hard to install, but I can see how it would be a pain for someone who just wanted to pick up their software and do their thing without a long setup. (Since there would probably be more things to setup aside from just the realtime kernel)
- michaelpb 5y agoYeah, JACK / ALSA / PulseAudio is probably the harder thing to straighten out, and if you are using the computer in normal usage as well switching back and forth is a perpetual head-ache filled with edge cases and incompatibilities. A turn-key audio-only OS like what KXStudio 14.04 was truly perfect for pro audio, since it had Ardour + 100s of plug-ins and tools all pre-installed and configured.
