If you’re choosing to do audio production in Linux, the odds are that “easy” wasn’t your top decision criteria. lol
Personally, I recently hooked up my Berhinger USB audio interface to Mint, and Ardour and Audacity saw it immediately. I was impressed. I was ready to google around for how to use lusb and dmseg and shit because I never remember what I’m doing.
It would be cool if we could ID which exploding star it came from.
