For fun, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is using. I am going to keep it to one vote per person. If you use more than one distro, mention it in the thread.

It's too bad your knob.monster doesn't have Roland JV/XP and XV series built in. I could you those.

I’ve seen several people recently mention they were using Ubuntu Studio, so it is somewhat surprising to not see any AV Linux or Ubuntu Studio votes yet. It’s only day one though, so I figure they’ll show up eventually. I’m not surprised with Mint though. My guess is that Mint and Debian will get the most votes, but that remains to be seen.
