I have been pleasantly surprised by Ubuntu Studio 23.04 which has worked flawlessly with whatever I have thrown at it, and it has stayed nimble quick and always responsive. I do wish that it had a single administration application, as i really miss Yast from SuSE which really spoiled me. The selection of software is also great, and stuff just works. I will in the future be looking to download and configure many applications useful for architecture (I am an architect) and I think now maybe there is a critical mass in that space, and I can find enough applications to build a completely useful and free software stack to do architectural work.

The whole OS is fine, the preinstalled packages might be useful for graphics and video production, but audio part of it is useless. From a professional audio production point of view. I understand the postponed move towards PipeWire audio structure. It is immature, and unreliable for audio production using pro Audio/MIDI interfaces. However, the Ubuntu Studio Audio Package with Studio Controls interface is a total mess. Being a pro audio engineer, using many pro audio production applications and hardware, Pro Tools licensed, composer, musician, etc, etc... I have never figured out how to properly setup the Studio Controls with ridiculously over-complicated structures of Pulse-Jack-ALSA-tweaks--bridges-backends-devices-childish looking mixers-etc, etc... I have never made my audio interfaces work. The online instructions on Ubuntu Community Help Wiki is old, and it does not reflect the current Studio Controls interface. Yes, I finally found the way to make my audio interface work: I uninstalled the whole Audio Studio Package (sic!!!). Then I could hear the interface outputs. Thus... why to use Ubuntu Studio for audio production? Was this review helpful?

Problems with booting, screen freezes and media player are just few problem since I didn't have time to test it longer. too buggy. Previous versions were buggy too but not as much as this one. I switched to av linux and it's working fine now. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 12 reader reviews of Ubuntu Studio...
