        The main reason for me to switch is U-he plugins that seems to
        require newer gcc
        

        API/ABI to work. Also Mixbus is freezing on the same machine so
        I suspect newer
        

        libs and kernel drivers might get me a more stable environment.
        

        Any valid reasons to go the Ubuntu route, ya think ?
        

      The Ubuntu LTS seems a good deal, but there are not a lot of
      people working on keeping things specific to audio in best running
      order. In particular the version of jackd has from time to time
      been broken (though it seems just fine these days). The focus of
      Ubuntu is servers and desktop. Those parts will work well. 
    

    All are why I have been sticking to Arch derivatives for quite a
    while :-)  I just converted a heavily-used Manjaro/XFCE4 desktop,
    two years in use and regularly updated, into a Linux audio testing
    machine, without glitches.  Amazing.
