Does anyone know whether one audio production distro is better for use with older PCs than others?
Lately I've been using Ubuntu Studio, but I really have to crank up the buffering to eliminate pops because my desktop PC (a Dell Inspiron) is 12 years old.
This isn't ideal when recording guitar or vocals because I have to turn off monitoring so I don't get any latency. That means I don't get to hear the effects on my guitar or vocals in real time, which is kind of boring.
I recently booted AV Linux from a USB just to experiment and found that I could record at 128 with monitoring turned on so I could hear the effects in real time. And there was barely any latency. I was pretty impressed.
Wondering if maybe this has to do with AV Linux using the liquorix kernel instead of the low-latency kernel like Ubuntu Studio does...
Anyhow, I'm considering switching to AV Linux. Would this make sense? Is AV Linux typically better for older PCs?
