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.
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.
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.
Thanks Cheers
By the way, someone gave me the idea that slackware is the top hardcore one... ("best"?). Meaning you can teak it and get the best perfomrance results. Though I fear it can be a nightmare to run it on a mac...
cheers

I'm interested in other people's responses here too. I'm a debian fan, but also I'm not a hardcore developer. Probably, it doesn't matter which distro to choose--all of them can be optimized (but you should at least have one with a new-ish 3.x series kernel at this time). If you don't need cutting edge software and kernels, stay away from Fedora and Ubuntu.
As for Mac hardware, the biggest pain in the ass is the broadcom wifi drivers. Get things set up and installed with an ethernet cable plugged in, before you try to set up the wifi. You need to download a lot of things first. The wifi firmware needs to get extracted from the proprietary drivers... and the kernel modules need to be rebuilt every time you update the kernel. Watch out.
If you don't need cutting edge software and kernels
I just need Pd :-)
And maybe some audio software (DAW) running free plugins to interact with the noise coming from Pd.

sure, I know, that's actually one of the reasons, since it seems Pd's performance is better on it, right? But not sure on what terms yet. Can you say more how it saves CPU load and decreases latency issues?

Can't comment extensively on that. I use Pd on Linux, used it on windows and once on OSX.
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.
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.
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.

I'm ok with soundflower for that matter, although jack is more powerful than soundflower...

ok, since I'm completely unaware of anything, can you tell me more about the dependency of audio to jack in linux? And can't jack be installed in any distro anyway?

hi all,
I used Windows first when I was young, I switched to Mac OS for the Coreaudio performance and because Apple's laptop were the only I known to have a powered firewire plug. Now and since i'm using pd (I worked with MaxMSP before) I'm on Ubuntu. I'm quite satisfied except for the driver availability (I have to wait one year before having a touchpad driver) We (A friend of mine on this list... and me) have made a custom distro we use in all of our projects. It's based on Ubuntu and works well. The only cons is the bad optimus support (it often crashes with Gem) but this only affects laptop.
But a benchmarking test made on the same MacPro machine shows that Pd with Gem runs twice time faster on Ubuntu than on Mac OS X. We used it for a dynamic mapping system with only 16ms latency (one image). And the latency was due to video projector, not to Pd itself.
Moreover the only good thing I see on apple computer is the strong formfactor they use and the quality of the components inside. But for less money you can have the same components in an heavier case but without to pay for Mac OS X licence.
But this is only my point of view....
Cheers
