I've been using Linux as the sole driver in my home studio for almost a full year now. About six years ago I didn't this could be achieved, so things have evolved nicely.
Last January I experimented on Mint, Pop!Os and Ubuntu. I really liked Mint but there was constant shenanigans with audio interface and couple of other things so I settled with Ubuntu. I've had some test runs with it over the years so I was somewhat familiar with it already.
Ubuntu served the needs of me and Bitwig just nicely and everything ran smoothly but during late autumn mystery issues started emerging. As my attempts to fix things constantly led to new mysteries I got tired of playing whack-a-mole instead of making music I decided to give Mint another go.
Looked really promising but in few days I found myself knee deep in mystery issues galore. Did some poking around and switched to Manjaro and oh me oh my is this a smooth ride after a few tweaks.
I love this in Linux. If one OS doesn't suit your needs just go ahead and try another distro. And it's fun to try out different flavours.
