Unfortunately nobody records a LP using wallpaper or themes... Pure:Dyne looks quite old-fashioned if not dull and Musix is still cluttered with bazillions of icons in not-fitting colours. Yet both have a rock-solid high-performance kernel that runs my firewire-interface for 10+ houres at 8ms while US with all its beauty on the surface does not. It crashes jackd within 10 or so minutes if the firebox runs with settings for more than 20ms. So I use Kubuntu as my every-day desktop on my laptop and in the studio I use oldfashioned-not-so-fancy Lenny with Pure:Dyne atop to get something that works. In 80% of the time I see Ardour in fullscreen anyway.... Please dont get me wrong: I am well aware of the fact, that the people, that do all the graphical work wont become kernel hackers as soon as this message arrives. Eye-candy is allways welcome also (Kubuntu 9.4 is indeed the most beautyfull, intriguing desktop I ever had installed or even seen so I do NOT critizize these improvements here. But one thing is for sure: If Ubuntu Studio does not work at least the same as good for the musician as other Linux-distros do, it will be irrelevant and obsolete. best regards HZN BTW: If I want to hook my Firebox with the Laptop I use Suse11 with the jenglh-Kernel. Its not as powerfull a system as Pure:Dyne but it works acceptable well and is quite beauty and feature-packed also.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkowImEACgkQ1Aecwva1SWPFFgCdGX0BKYgMqaL/bHjmKXj34HYW DqcAnA/Atn4i2+oSVVCh29pGIHHgCX0p =7LPk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
