So I chose to install Ubuntu and Ubuntu studio on top (which as I understand is just adding a bunch of apps and maybe doing some configuring). I am a musician and visual creative. I’d like to know why I made the wrong choice in distro. Hit me with it!

Why is your distro of choice better than the one I picked at random for myself?

What bottleneck am I to expect due to my non archyness?

    Depends on how you install it

    You basically chose one of the more complicated ways to do it, short of compiling the source code lol

      I did the see it in any package managers sudo apt install bla bla bla. I literally just downloaded it clicked a link in the .Tar or .Zip and it appeared. I would have installed it the same way on windows. Guess it’s part of the learning curve.

        Yeah it’s not in apt afaik, I think it is on flathub tho :3 im not sure if there are any issues using it in a sandboxed environment, as I never used it. And you can also use it as an appimage I think… that’s all the kind of stuff you’ll learn along the way tho, I mean… I remember the first time I had to install something not in my distro’s repos, and hitting my head on my keyboard for like a day, before I realized that im doing it the hard way haha
