[03:10] <holstein> _DB: ubuntustudio comes with mostly what you would need for audio production out of the box
[03:10] <holstein> _DB: its all in the main repo, though.. all the software
[03:11] <holstein> _DB: i suggest, just installing what you need into the flavor you use
[03:13] <acerimmer> _DB, for example, ubuntustudio-audio       is the meta-pack of the default audio apps and can be added to any *buntu
[03:16] <_DB> well tbh Im looking for something that handles audio , sketching / texture (gimp is pretty bad) and screen recording
[03:16] <_DB> I like the filters photoshop has I havent seen to many programs that have filters quite as good as it
[03:16] <_DB> as for 3d modelling wings 3d runs on linux so i could get that on there
[03:16] <holstein> _DB: sure, but *all* distros "handle" audio
[03:17] <_DB> ahh cool cool
[03:17] <holstein> _DB: ubuntustuduio has JACK at the core of all the applications.. mostly *any* linux audio distro will but, its mostly overkill for most purposes
[03:17] <_DB> wasnt aware I used ubuntu 3 years ago werent many programs for it
[03:17] <holstein> _DB: if you dont need jack, then, in my opnion, you dont need ubuntustuduio or an audio specific distro
[03:17] <holstein> _DB: the repos are *filled* with programs
[03:18] <_DB> a friend recommended lmms lets make music
[03:18] <holstein> _DB: always have been.. now, there may be applications you want/need, that are not made for ubuntu, but, ubuntu is not preventing that from happening
[03:18] <holstein> _DB: lmms is great at what it does
[03:19] <_DB> yeah I saw some videos on it , its what im looking for
[03:19] <holstein> its in the repos..
[03:19] <holstein> and you dont need jack to use it
[03:19] <_DB> ahh cool! perfect
[03:19] <holstein> but, i still say, if all you want is lmms and gimp and some other video application, you dont need ubuntustudio
[03:19] <_DB> no doubt
[03:19] <holstein> i say that, because, its a small niche community
[03:20] <_DB> i hear ya
[03:20] <holstein> if you use, for example, main ubuntu, you have a *lot* community members for support
[03:20] <holstein> lots of them programming, etc..
[03:20] <holstein> here, its just a few of us using jack and ardour.. and its likely you dont even need a large DAW like ardour
[03:20] <holstein> and theres nothing wrong with that :)
[03:21] <holstein> _DB: are you currently using main ubuntu?
[03:21] <_DB> no I use windows right now, I bought this pc on christmas day
[03:21] <_DB> but its windows 8 which sucks
[03:22] <holstein> i would see if you can return it, and get a machine from someone like system76
[03:22] <holstein> someone that provides official support for the operating system you are tryihng to use
[03:22] <_DB> but I need something that can run unity & unreal as well as photoshop
[03:23] <_DB> ive heard I could do that which virtual machine but its a bit to much of a hassle
[03:23] <holstein> nothing about ubuntu is preventing any of that.. nothing about ubuntu or linux
[03:24] <_DB> yeah I hear that
[03:25] <holstein> im a big advocate of speaking honestly about linux.. lots of folks seem to try and sell it like its magic
[03:25] <holstein> linux works great.. as advertised.. but, so does windows, really.. i mean, win8 works as adveristed, and if you need it, you need it
[03:25] <holstein> i dont, so i dont use it
[03:25] <holstein> but, a team of experts were hired to make sure that your hardware there would run windows 8 well
[03:26] <holstein> you have a much different arrangement with ubuntu
[03:26] <holstein> where, you hare promised windows support, and may not be able to, or encouraged to put any other OS's on the hardware
[03:26] <_DB> well my pc is nothing special really 500 gb HD , dual core processor and 4 gb ram
[03:26] <holstein> that can make supporting ubuntu challenging
[03:27] <_DB> but I see what youre getting at installing ubuntu may not work out as planned
[03:27] <holstein> if i needed photoshop, i would want to run it natively, on a windows partition, and i would be planning to move to native linux alternatives
[03:27] <holstein> _DB: well, there is not even a plan ;) you see?
[03:27] <_DB> true
[03:28] <holstein> ubuntu is *great*, and works well.. but, there is litle it can do to force your hardware to support it, if it doesnt
[03:28] <holstein> and it may, right out of the box..
[03:28] <holstein> but, if you are used to using windows, and didnt install *any* os on the hardware, you have a much differnt experience you are about to take on
[03:29] <holstein> you literally took the machine out of the box and pushed the button and win8 was running.. *now*, you must install ubuntu, and set it up and provide driver support if needed
[03:29] <holstein> not a big deal in most cases.. and you can usually find out all you need from running a live iso
[03:30] <_DB> yeah ive installed ubuntu before and it worked right out of the box
[03:30] <_DB> but this time is different since unity only runs on windows
[03:30] <_DB> and I heard it runs extremely slow via virtual machine or wine
[03:30] <holstein> _DB: unity is the desktop for ubuntu
[03:30] <holstein> _DB: you dont need windows to run unity
[03:31] <_DB> what?
[03:31] <_DB> Unity the game development engine?
[03:31] <holstein> _DB: unity is also the main de for ubuntu
[03:31] <holstein> _DB: i dont know antyhing about the game IDE
[03:32] <holstein> _DB: again, nothing about ubuntu prevents unity from running on it
