EndeavorOS for audio production and gaming? (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone! Right now I use Apple mainly but I do have experience with Ubuntu Studio. I’m migrating back and forth but I feel the hard switch is coming. I’ve just found that Ubuntu Studio throws problems left and right with audio production, but I have great luck with gaming.

So I kinda want to start over and Endeavor seems cool. Would I be able to use Endeavor/Arch for both making music AND gaming?

For what it’s worth, I use live recording and plugins for my music.

What kind of errors are you getting? Arch can be nice for up to date packages and stuff from the AUR. That makes it likely to support new technology and hardware that's useful for stuff that's pushing the envelope like gaming. But realistically any distro can be used for gaming or music production. If you want to try it why not.

Even with endeavor you might need to spend a little more time configuring than Ubuntu studio tho.

Mostly my errors were issues with jack routing, audio working with Ardour then not working, Midi issues, crashing programs, it was just a hassle working with audio. Part of the reason I want to start over (and possibly use arch based distro ) is to know exactly from scratch how everything is set up. Easier to trouble shoot to me.

As far as gaming goes, Proton & Lutris covered everything I needed. I like to play indie games, older AA/AAA titles, emulating retro games, and visual novels. Worst I had to do was some Lutris guides for a few visual novels.
