Speaking as a user for some time, on multiple systems, of Ubuntu Studio,
I can attest that the 20.04 version was extremely stable during the time
I used it.
I am currently using for somewhat different purposes Xubuntu 22.04, and
this has been a bit less stable for me than Studio 20.04. I'm
continuing to use it, but I've run into some minor issues that seem to
have been taken care of by updates. The difference between that and
Studio is that I didn't run into that kind of problem with Studio.
Experience - ignore this portion unless it's useful
I used Ubuntu Studio on three workstations and two laptops, most of the
time using 20.04. I switched to Xubuntu since moving to a new window
manager was a bit much for me at this time. Two workstations dual boot
LINUX and MS Windows 10 x64; my wife uses it professionally as a
psychologist and we both use it to play a game with friends.
My first computer was an IBM 740 terminal connected to the Caltech
7040/7090 number cruncher; my first personal computer was an IMSAI
8080/ADM5 combination used primarily for text processing.
My experience with UNIX is a bit weird; I started with a Tandy 16B about
40 years ago running XENIX-68K which eventually supported an online
archive of "netnews", especially mod.sources (to the extent that Telebit
and USR modems can be considered to be "online"). That system
eventually moved to Open Desktop and then to Microport before being retired.
I decided to retread and bought a Sun 4/110 workstation and used that,
plus the XENIX experience, to get a job at the Indiana University
Computer Science department as their PC specialist (my job before that
time used MS-DOS). The principal job was to assist staff with using
PC's in a UNIX (SunOS/IRIS) environment which eventually resulted in the
department purchasing a license of an MS Windows based XWindows package
for secretarial staff to use for documents written in TeX.
At IU I learned about 386BSD and have used that, and it's versions,
since its release. My home server currently uses FreeBSD v 13, mainly
due to its familiarity.
At work I continued to use MS Windows in its various versions until
retirement. After retirement I decided to start migrating clients to
Ubuntu, especially Studio, since we have 2 or 3 desktops and 2 laptops
and licensing costs were prohibitive once I left the university. My
other hobby is recording and performing live music which accounts for
the interest in Studio.
Thanks for the work.
