I'm invading this thread with a question that might have an obvious answer...are you using boot camp to part your hard drive and install Linux? All documentation of it mentions only Windows..<br>
Is it the same or do you need to do something else?<br>

<br>
ok, since I'm completely unaware of anything, can you tell me more<br>
about the dependency of audio to jack in linux? And can't jack be<br>
installed in any distro anyway?<br>

I'm on ubuntustudio 13.04 and kxstudio 12.04.1, 64bit. But<br>
only pd-l20rk runs to my satisfaction. All other pd variants<br>
make troubles with toggling dsp here on different stationary<br>
machines and laptops. pd (and all other audio processing)<br>
without jack is no go for me.<br>

Hi there, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Pd runs<br>
smoother in Linux than in any other OS, is that right?<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of you have run benchmarks for it with the<br>
same machine and diferente Operational Systems. I was<br>
curious to try myself.<br>
<br>
Now, is there a "best linux" for Pd? Maybe one that allows<br>
you to tweak in a little more to have insanely low latencies?<br>
<br>
Yeah, the whole point and interest is to try and reach an<br>
absurdly optimized latency and CPU load.<br>
<br>
Now that I got myself a Raspberry Pi (my first linux) I<br>
wanna enjoy the opportunity/motivation to broaden my linux<br>
usage to my regular laptops.<br>
<br>
I use macs by the way. Don't know if that is an issue.<br>
Like being next to an impossible task to install a nice<br>
hardcore ("the best one") linux distribution in it.<br>
<br>
I've seen that recently Linux has been able to work<br>
(poorly at least) with Thunderbolt. I have an RME<br>
Multiface that seems to works well on linux. Since newer<br>
macbooks lost the PCI slot, all that I'm missing is that<br>
my thunderbolt to PCI slot adapter works in Linux. That'd<br>
be cool, to run it on my macbook air, on linux... but I<br>
digress.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
