If you are visually impaired, then perhaps you can also ask Aiyumi, who posted here some time ago. She is Japanese living in Brazil and is using a Linux distribution to make music. Her email, which can be found in her messages here, is: Aiyumi Moriya <aiyumi.br@xxxxxxxxx> Her blog is at: http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/en/ http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/en/blog/how-i-started-using-linux/ http://aiyumi.warpstar.net/en/blog/adventures-with-a-new-computer/ She might add suggestions for visually impaired uses of a Linux distro for music uses. As for choosing a music-specific distro, I will do this for the first time next year. presently, I run an ordinary Linux Mint distro, no special kernel, and it works find for making music. So it could be that the latency concerns are less when the machine is relatively recent. In this case an Intel i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 16G of RAM.
