What I’ve tried so far is playing with the io gnu linux distro, a live usb distro dedicated to multimedia – not just audio.
It is based on debian just like MX/antiX and it’s quite big : more than 4GB, so not for the fat32 sticks, don’t make the same mistake I did. It has a RT (real time) option at startup for better latency and you can set your language and other stuff.
Everything seems to work more or less out of the box, but the last release is quite old now (march 2017) so there’s a big load of updates to go through (more than 3000 actually !) if you want to stay up-to-date.
However I’m not too much satisfied with it. Mainly because it uses a KDE desktop
Might give ParrotOS Studio Edition a look-see, which uses the Mate DE; about 2.7GB, and it IS up-to-date. The download link location is less than intuitive, so I am including it here:
Parrot Home 4.1
