My current computer is a System76 Thelio with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, 8-core CPU operating at a non-overclocked rated spec. Sometimes I increase a DAW's audio buffer to 128 or 256 samples when it has a lot of different processes occurring at the same time all of which demand some of the CPU-cores' time. I use a Mackie Onyx 2*2 Producer external audio/MIDI interface, and a MIDIhub from Blokas.io, and operate Pianoteq with settings of 256 voices polyphony, 48,000 Hz sample rate, and 64 samples per buffer, "Multicore rendering: Max," when I am using the Pianoteq standalone app. I am currently using Pop! OS with both (either) the generic or the lowlatency kernel, with the CPUpower-gui app installed to control the frequencies and governors of the CPU cores so that they always operate near the fastest speeds the CPU specifications allow without overclocking, and without too large fluctuations or jumps between frequencies. By "lightweight," I mean a desktop window manager environment that doesn't have too many other processes running in the background automatically and at various or unexpected times, that might interfere with an audio task having nearly full use of the CPU cores while it is running. Regarding a good Linux distro (distribution or "flavor") for audio use, recording and editing, in addition to AVlinux and UbuntuStudio, just about any distribution that includes or offers a more lightweight desktop will work fine, with either the generic linux kernel or the lowlatency variant of the kernel installed. and the LinuxAudio reddit at can be good resources. I think there is such a thing as WineASIO, but I get the impression that it's rather hit-and-miss. Does anyone know if it's possible to use an ASIO interface (such as Audient iD4) in Linux? So far I haven't attempted it.
