Because you can never have enough audio daemons crapping all over each other.

My fans show their support by mentioning my name in their signature.
There is also TempleOS, but I'm sure that doesn't quite fit the definition of "distro."

Running as user bends me and has nothing to do with freedom.
To me running as user is obligation, pressure and restraint - NOT freedom.
I could accept running as user in a multi user environment.
But that's not the case on my computers.
Please understand that the following is a critique of your points and your points only and not of you as a person. I hope the discussion doesn't blow up but I need to raise this especially for the benefit of newbie users that might come across this thread.
No, that's not correct. It's a long time since I saw an XP box but ... XP had 'system file protection' IIRC. There are some things 'Administrator' can't do on XP. There's a user on XP called 'System' and that's the equivalent of root on Linux. So you're not logged in as root when you're using XP.TAERSH wrote: In Windows XP I'm also able to nuke the system by running as administrator, so there's not really a difference.
That's the lowest DSP load I have ever seen -- 0.0098%. That would suggest to me you are using a huge buffer. If the buffer is big and you're still getting xruns there's something far wrong. As a guide when you start JACK with no apps running a DSP load of less than 5% is good -- above that and the buffer is probably too low for your system.
I'm using 44100 / 1024 / 2.I've never tried using squashfs and running everything as root. This may be the problem. To find out boot up AVL-MXE and see if you get xruns. If you don't get xruns with AVL-MXE then the squashfs/root thing is no good for audio.
I do remember Puppy Studio doing pretty good 10+ years ago in terms of performance. That reminds me of Remix OS as well, another discontinued distribution (some info survives here). Unfortunately I don't have many more remarks, or additional tips that can be useful. However, I do remember those distros at the end of the kernel 2.X era to be very good (Tango studio being another example, but that was not a Live one). I always felt there was a "discontinuity" in performance as kernel 3.X was released, but this is my subjective feeling, never did any quantitative assessment.

Last night I booted my AVL-MXE Live Boot USB Stick 2nd time to install AVL-MXE to external USB hard drive. When booting from that hard drive I get lots of BUG messages: viewtopic.php?p=133322#p133322
The conky also disappeard from the desktop. After installing Qtractor I got lots of error messages when scanning for installed VST plugins. Scanning for VST3 and LV2 plugins went fine. When trying to load Surge VST3 version Qtractor crashes when closing the Surge GUI. Currently I'm heavily in doubt I could get Qtractor running in AVL-MXE like I'm used to without spending a huge amount of time.
But: I got already a first Xrun in AVL-MXE when Surge VST3 plugin was loaded into the track. So, I will give up on this, continue running my own created ArtStudio64 and start playing in a Lottery.
