Mint could do the job without issues, but not necessarily does the job without issues. Ubuntu usually is easier to use by default, but as another subscriber already pointed out, 18.x releases of official Ubuntu flavours tend to cause issues on some machines. My opinion isn't based upon experiences with Linux Mint and installs of Ubuntu > 16.04, while on my machine Ubuntu 18.x live media are not without issues. It's just an opinion based upon my impression of the infrastructure, such as support channels, a security team etc.: IMO Ubuntu is very close to Mint, but I suspect that Ubuntu provides a more reliable infrastructure. If I wouldn't use Arch Linux, I most likely would use Ubuntu or Debian or even an RPM package management major distro such as Fedora or Suse, but most unlikely I would tend to migrate to Mint. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
