[07:31] <michaelrose> is installing ubuntu studio and using its repos with ubuntu equivilent?
[07:58] <zequence> michaelrose: Ubuntu Studio is an official flavor of Ubuntu, so they both share the same repositories
[07:59] <zequence> However, Ubuntu Studio is not just a combination of packages. It has some settings too
[08:00] <zequence> The settings are mostly for audio, so if you are not intending to do audio, then you have no real use of Ubuntu Studio
[08:00] <zequence> For audio, I would recommend installing ubuntustudio-audio-core, and then add all users who are to use realtime audio to the audio group
[08:01] <zequence> Also, after jack is installed, make sure /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf is not named /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf.disabled
[08:02] <zequence> If so, rename it
[08:03] <zequence> ..this is if you are turning any other Ubuntu flavor (including Mint, which is not a flavor) into an audio production machine
[08:03] <michaelrose> thanks for the info
[08:04] <zequence> For low latency you need to always make sure to boot into the kernel linux-lowlatency. It is supplied with the package ubuntustudio-audio-core
[08:05] <zequence> ..or just install Ubuntu Studio
[08:44] <michaelrose> honestly not switching distros right now just curious
[08:44] <michaelrose> thanks for the info
