Hi Erich, 

I know this chain is getting long, but I have a big decision to make and need advice. In terms of best functionality, most users, best support, would you recommend:
  1. Ubuntu Studio 20.4 LTS 
  2. Ubuntu Studio 20.10
  3. Fedora Jam (32 or 33) 

I'm partial to Fedora, maybe because I've been using it with Stanford's CCRMA repo for 20 years or so. But I get the impression everyone else is settling on Ubuntu as the standard. I also prefer KDE and stability, so last week I installed Kubuntu 20.4 and U-studio on one hard drive, and Fedora 32 Jam on another. I didn't find much difference, so settled on Fedora and spent a few days correcting Carla plug-in paths, compiling WhySynth 2017 and OxeFMSynth etc. But it's not too late to change.

My day job is stressful but pays well. Music is keeping me sane. I would love to contribute to one or both of these projects.

Thanks
Steve

Before I tried fedora jam, I tried ubuntu studio, avlinux, and kxstudio. I got nowhere with those, and couldn’t find any help – y'all are the first live humans I’ve encountered on this quest. 

 

From what I’ve been able to tell, the ‘make music on linux movement’ started shutering a couple years ago. Then I read in Phoronix that Fedora Jam would either shuter or release a version 33. So I checked and you had a 33 download.  

Fedora is really my last try at this before heading back to windows. 



How long ago did you try Ubuntu Studio? I also lead the Ubuntu Studio project, and don't remember you reaching out about an issue like this at all since I've been involved (past 2 1/2 years).

And, as you can see, Phoronix likes to spread FUD. There was a Fedora Jam 32 release as well as 33.
