Just let me clarify this further. Software written for Linux will run on any distro. The Mixxx developers are not developing for Ubuntu only (actually, I don't even know how one could go around developing something for a distro only). However, when it comes to distribute pre-built packages, they decided to distribute pre-compiled packages (not the software itself) for Ubuntu only, even though the software can run probably even on not Linux OSes, like FreeBSD. This because they want to maintain just a single .deb package instead of many packages for every package manager of every distro out of there. This means that if you are not on Ubuntu you have to either: build Mixxx from source or check whether your distro maintainers are themselves maintaining a package. For example, Arch Linux package maintainers maintain a Mixxx package in the repos.beck wrote: The manual say's:
"Official packages of Mixxx are only offered for Ubuntu Linux."(at 2.3)
