I have used LMMS for quite a bit. It’s fairly stable, and I really like the UI and the general experience, plus, it comes with basic samples and plugins with presets, which is nice.

The biggest drawback in my opinion at the moment is the lack of native support for lv2 and vst3 plugins, which limits the access to some usefull plugins like Surge. That and the lack of a record audio tool.

I tried Ardour which is much more complete. It’s alright, but i’m not a fan of the user experience and it is far more complex.

ZRythm is very promising, but is not really stable right now.

So yeah, LMMS is defintely a good FOSS option and a good DAW despite the lack of some features in my opinion

I don’t know if it counts, but for me it’s Distance

Oh, ok, I did not have any issue so far so that surprised me, but I guess I was just lucky

I’m out of the loop, why is Manjaro considered a “bad distro” ?

I have used it for quite some time now, and I enjoy it, i find it fairly simple, fast and pretty.

Is there something I’m missing ?
