Ubuntu Studio is a recognized flavor of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, which is geared to general multimedia production.
Features:
Real-time kernel
The
real-time kernel, first included with Ubuntu Studio 8.04, was modified
for intensive audio, video or graphics work. The 8.10 Ubuntu Studio
release lacks this real-time kernel. It has been reimplemented in the
9.04 Ubuntu Studio release and stabilized with the release of 9.10.
10.04 Ubuntu Studio, in contrast, does not include the real-time kernel
by default. As of version 10.10 of the Ubuntu Studio, the real-time
kernel is no longer available in the repositories.
Low-latency kernel
As
of Ubuntu Studio 12.04, the default kernel is linux-lowlatency, which
in essence is a generic Ubuntu Linux kernel, with a tweaked
configuration to allow for stable operation for audio applications at
lower latencies. Since much of the real-time patch has now been
implemented into the vanilla kernel, and considering the difficulties in
maintaining linux-rt, Ubuntu Studio decided on using linux-lowlatency
in its place.
The scheduler
allows applications to request immediate CPU time, which can
drastically reduce audio latency. In 9.10, the "Ubuntu Studio Controls"
provided under System>Administration permit the user to "Enable
Nice", allowing the use of wireless networking and proprietary graphics
cards drivers while maintaining low audio latency free of XRUNs (audio
drop-outs) in JACK. A more negative value entered for nice reserves more
CPU time for real-time audio processes.
Appearance and sound theme
Ubuntu
Studio also includes custom artwork and a blue-on-black theme, as
opposed to Ubuntu's default purple and orange. As with the main
distribution of Ubuntu, if an accelerated graphics card and appropriate
driver are used, the advanced desktop effects can be enabled. More
advanced Compiz effects are available in the Synaptic Package Manager
(i.e., Ubuntu repositories). In Karmic 9.10, a fresh sound theme
replaces the default Ubuntu theme, with a reverberating melody at
startup, and an occasional knock or ping from a button or prompt. Xfce
(instead of GNOME) is the default user interface.
Access to Ubuntu repositories
An
important advantage of Ubuntu Studio over most other Linux
distributions employing the real-time kernel is access to the same
repositories available to the main Ubuntu distributions through the
Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, as well as through the
Add/Remove Applications prompt. This allows for much more frequent
operating system updates, and access to a much wider range of software.
