What is your software/hardware set up?

I'm currently running Ubuntu, but the way things are going with snap et Al I'm looking to move to something else soon.

My software setup has barely changed in a long time. Ardour is the core of all my production, I use qjackctl for handling Jack, Hydrogen for drums and then occasionally throw in a bit of Renoise or Bitwig for extra synth/sampler needs. I like to keep it simple and this really works for me.

What do you use?

I've been using Pop!_OS for a while and have found it to be really stable. It's based on Ubuntu but without snap or a lot of other Ubuntu crap and it plays great with Nvidia cards.

I have used Ardour on it with Yabridge to convert VSTs and had pretty good results.

Nice I haven't used Yabridge as I don't really have any VSTs - any you would recommend?

I can't think of any specifics, it's been a while since messing around with it. I used to just search for free ones and try them out. This post has inspired me to pull out the MIDI and get back into it though, so thanks!
