a laptop that isn't necessarily dedicated to audio?
My personal recomendation is whatever with xfce. I don't think it
matters if it is debian or redhat (or whatever). XFCE seems to be the
lowest resource user for a desktop that the average user will feel
comfortable with. My wife and sons use xubuntu with no complaint and I
have had no trouble running audio. Yes, I have added some tweaks but
honestly, I don't think anyone even halfway serious about audio should
expect to do at least some tweaking of a system.
- find out which USB port to use
- real time and memory locking permissions
- swappiness
- no boost
- performance mode
- no hyperthread
- etc.
Yet on my i7 laptop, audio works with hyperthreading just fine.
It is in performance mode, though. I think keeping a steady clock is
more important for RT audio than the number of threads.
