I was using MixBus on AVLinux for a while, and I liked it. Sound was consistent, rock solid platform, and MixBus is great. Earlier this year I fell in love with another DAW (unfortunately on Windows) and I haven't used MixBus much since then.
However, I'd like to give it another go and install MixBus on my laptop. What distribution are people using these days? Should I use UbuntuStudio? They were having issues a year or two ago, but maybe they are solved now?

AVLinux is still a great choice.
But why don't you just install Mixbus on your Windows box?

For me, the whole point is to escape the windows paradigm. If I'm in Windows, then I'll just use the other DAW honestly, since it is more capable than Mixbus 2 (MIDI, better included plugins, etc).
Mixbus running on Linux could well be good enough that I can leave Windows behind. That's my goal, hoping to achieve it at some point.
Looks like AVLinux is 32 bit only. I generally use 64bit distros these days. Hmm.... that's another new thing, wondering how Mixbus plays on 64bit Linux. Also, last time I used AVLinux (can't remember which version it was) it was using a pretty old window manager. I'd prefer something more modern using KDE or GNOME.

Whoa, thanks for that. The Calf plugins look great, they've progressed a lot since the last I saw them. Do the calf plugs play well with Mixbus?
Wow, I haven't run Debian in probably a decade. But Debian with KX studio looks intriguing....

CALF plugins work perfectly well and smooth for me in Mixbus with pure Debian, so you should have no issues at all...
