Sorry... Reply all...Ok.. Shumamis don't have Ardour pre installed, I use it in music and tecnology workshops I do.To install ardour:1) Press Ctrl+Alt+T , it will open terminal.2) run in terminal: sudo apt-get install ardour33) it is!2013/5/30 Alexandre Torres Porres <porres@gmail.com>cool, so it seems I dont need to bother with "hardcore configuring" using a "not so easy one" like slackware? I'll give this Shumamis a try, but I don't see ardour there though. Did you install this on a mac? I'm downloading the 64 bit version. I got a previous generation macbook air. Dual core i7 1.8GHz. 4GB Ramcheers2013/5/30 Esteban Viveros <emviveros@gmail.com>Maybe I can be wrong, but to work with pd in realtime performances you will need a kernel patched with rt features. At least low-latency kernel.I'm start to do a little distro (Ubuntu 12.04.2 based) it in portuguese. You can try it. Shumamis Linux Light have included with qtractor DAW and Ardour 3 is very easy to install.This distro is a remaster of a DreamStudio:If you don't like Unity windows manager, you can use KXstudio:All these distros use KXStudio repositories, and have low-latency kernels preconfigured.If you need a realtime kernel, you can install easily. All these 3 distros are Ubuntu 12.04 LTS based.With Jack, at now, I don't have problems using Shumamis Linux Light.Regards2013/5/30 Alexandre Torres Porres <porres@gmail.com>

Hi there, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Pd runs smoother in
Linux than in any other OS, is that right?
Perhaps some of you have run benchmarks for it with the same machine and
diferente Operational Systems. I was curious to try myself.
One very big advantage on Linux is the possibility to run Pd with hassle-free jack, in turn easy multichannel.
Not only - jack means you can directly record into a DAW (e.g. Ardour), again with multiple 'virtual' channels if you want.Not sure about insane values, but I'm happy with debian now. Although I do very little live stuff these days. I think Pd-extended development is mostly done on debian, but I may be wrong on that.
Now, is there a "best linux" for Pd? Maybe one that allows you to tweak
in a little more to have insanely low latencies?
Yeah, the whole point and interest is to try and reach an absurdly
optimized latency and CPU load.
Can't comment on those.
Now that I got myself a Raspberry Pi (my first linux) I wanna enjoy the
opportunity/motivation to broaden my linux usage to my regular laptops.
I use macs by the way. Don't know if that is an issue. Like being next
to an impossible task to install a nice hardcore ("the best one") linux
distribution in it.
I've seen that recently Linux has been able to work (poorly at least)
with Thunderbolt. I have an RME Multiface that seems to works well on
linux. Since newer macbooks lost the PCI slot, all that I'm missing is
that my thunderbolt to PCI slot adapter works in Linux. That'd be cool,
to run it on my macbook air, on linux... but I digress.
Lorenzo.
