I came from windows not so long ago without any linux or coding knowledge. For my opinion i. e. tweaking rt latency is much more userfriendly in ubuntustudio then trying similar in xp. Guess someone really motivated for getting a high quality multimedia environment will not avoid some reading, asking and experimentation. There is much help around and if one is really curious and interested (s)he will get the necessary skills in a short time. And if (s)he makes a lot of money so (s)he doesn't have enough time for reading and testing themselves there will be excellent commercial support too. Did someone here try to tweak uptodate commercial MS audio software on a 3 years old standard windows machine for passable performance? I'm sure (s)he will stop complaining about ubuntustudio.
