Hi there, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Pd runs smoother in<br>
Linux than in any other OS, is that right?<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of you have run benchmarks for it with the same machine and<br>
diferente Operational Systems. I was curious to try myself.<br>

Can't comment extensively on that. I use Pd on Linux, used it on windows and once on OSX.<br>
<br>
One very big advantage on Linux is the possibility to run Pd with hassle-free jack, in turn easy multichannel.<br>
Not only - jack means you can directly record into a DAW (e.g. Ardour), again with multiple 'virtual' channels if you want.<div class="im"><br>

<br>
Now, is there a "best linux" for Pd? Maybe one that allows you to tweak<br>
in a little more to have insanely low latencies?<br>
<br>
Yeah, the whole point and interest is to try and reach an absurdly<br>
optimized latency and CPU load.<br>

Not sure about insane values, but I'm happy with debian now. Although I do very little live stuff these days. I think Pd-extended development is mostly done on debian, but I may be wrong on that.<div class="im"><br>

Now that I got myself a Raspberry Pi (my first linux) I wanna enjoy the<br>
opportunity/motivation to broaden my linux usage to my regular laptops.<br>
<br>
I use macs by the way. Don't know if that is an issue. Like being next<br>
to an impossible task to install a nice hardcore ("the best one") linux<br>
distribution in it.<br>
<br>
I've seen that recently Linux has been able to work (poorly at least)<br>
with Thunderbolt. I have an RME Multiface that seems to works well on<br>
linux. Since newer macbooks lost the PCI slot, all that I'm missing is<br>
that my thunderbolt to PCI slot adapter works in Linux. That'd be cool,<br>
to run it on my macbook air, on linux... but I digress.<br>
