Was primarily looking at something running Pop!_OS to start. Someone here suggested System76. I'd be migrating from a chromebook that can't handle any music software/DAWs at all, so even if it takes a little more legwork to get going on Linux, it'd still be a step up for those capacities as well as hopefully for privacy, as I'm learning. EDiT: I'm also unable to install Linux on this chromebook.

Anyone have any experience producing music on Linux? I'm mostly going to be recording but also interested in live modulation. For those reasons I'd probably be using Reaper (which I have a good deal of experience with) and Bitwig/Ardour. Would love to hear peoples' thoughts.

    oooh, that's a nice idea too. that way it'd just be that one hole and the male 1/4" would plug directly into that receiver, if i understand correctly. hey i appreciate your ideas on that.

      Yep, you got it. I think that would be the best way to do it. You should probably be able to get one of those at your local music store even, it's a standard part for all kinds of electric instruments.

      And it will look much cleaner than slapping a jack plate on there.
