I don't believe there is such a thing as a best distro. There is only the best distro for you. Absolutely. As for multimedia distributions, I would recommend either AVLinux http://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ or LibaZiK studio audio http://librazik.tuxfamily.org/base-site-LZK/english.php . Both work m...

If I installed Librazik is it enough like Debian that I can just use it? According to my experiences: Yes. It's very user-friendly. You may install the librazik-apt-non-fr package https://librazik.tuxfamily.org/doc2/comprehension/paquets_librazik#librazik-apt-non-fr . This might help a lot for all ...

LibraZiK is a real good distribution - I use it for professional radio work, with very good results. My favourite audio distribution.

A fourth one: LibraZiK studio http://librazik.tuxfamily.org/base-site-LZK/english.php. Highly recommendable. I use it for professional radio work.

Thank you very much indeed .

Just a question: Is it possible to do an upgrade from AVL2018 to 2019 ? (For example by modifying the sources ? )
Or will I have to do a new install ? (I use to have a separate partition for /home.)

I could try to upload my file KXStudio_18.04a2.iso on Dropbox for you - if falkTX doesn't disaggree. (Not sure if it works with those 2,6 GB. )

- my knowledge of Linux is beginner level - English is not my native language [...] I am new to Linux and maybe sound to others naive or so. We have all been totally new to Linux at times. :) I must say that as a not-any-more-newbie to Linux, I found even KX Studio 12.04 (which was really easy to i...

I like AV Linux very much but I like even better LibraZiK studio https://librazik.tuxfamily.org/base-site-LZK/english.php#install , which is also based on Debian 9. Originally it's a French distribution - to get an English version, install the package librazik-apr-non-fr https://librazik.tuxfamily.o...

I have made very good experiences with AVLinux 2017 and 2018 http://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ and Windows VSTs using Carla

Ah... :D *KNOWN ISSUES -A recent update of Unetbootin no longer works to create bootable LiveUSB Keys of AV Linux 2018. -AV Linux contains a new AV Linux DD LiveUSB Writer to write LiveUSB Keys with DD ... yes I had been too lazy to read the file before :oops: . I had set up the key with Unetbootin ...

Yes, unfortunately :( . I use to get the message - at the very beginning: FAT-fs (sdb1): IO charset ascii not found mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /live/medium failed: invalid argument I've tried to find out something about it in several debian forums (for example http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.ph...

Just to add: Maybe it's possible just to modify /etc/apt/sources.list and do dist-upgrade ? Here is my AVLinux 2017 sources.list: # DEBIAN STRETCH deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian/ stretch contrib non-free main deb-src http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian/ stretch main non-free contr...

It has been my pleasure to set up AV Linux 2018 on one of my desktop pcs yesterday afternoon. Thanks a lot for this system. :D On my Dell Latitude E-6430 notebook with an existing AV Linux 2017 I tried to set up AV Linux 2018 to replace that 2017 version but there is an error: the 2018 live system d...

some impressive, I guess, algorithmic vsts in Windows/Mac but don't think there is anything like that for us natively. They might work based on Carla ...? Here is the English translation http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2015/175/Carla of a German article that has helped me a lot. :idea: I'm rea...

Man I have wasted two weeks I have tried to set up a system like the one you described with accordion vst and a sequencer - first (just to check it out) MuseScore (with its MIDI output) then, after it worked, Ardour also. I have made all connections in Carla's plugin windows directly. No sound prob...
