I want something that’s stupid easy to install, requires no setup, and has recording and gaming functionality from the beginning. I constantly see people shitting on ubuntu for semi-valid reasons, and I’m open to stable alterantives.
I’m installing it on this laptop :
NB : This is for mission critical etc laptop. This will be my only daily driver computer, stability is the topmost priority.
BONUS POINTS : If it’s debian based so I can run solarus : https://solarus-games.org/
I don’t know of an “out-of-the-box” distro for multimedia outside of Ubuntu Studio, but I do know of a utility that will turn any distro into a low-latency, pro audio setup: rtcqs - it runs 10-12 tests on your system and tells you how to set it up for realtime audio, if it isn’t already - this is very much NOT what you asked for, but if you get your system going but it’s not performing like you expect, this could be the thing that fixes all your issues.
