Ubuntu Wiki

The purpose of Ubuntu Studio:

1. Provide a desktop base suitable for multimedia applications (currently XFCE)
2. Provide performance needed for multimedia applications (-lowlatency, tuning, etc..)
3. Include relevant and up to date applications that cover all user workflows
4. Provide documentation for users that covers just about every aspect of linux multimedia (use links to other sites heavily, to reduce workload)
5. Provide various tools (application/documentation) to make system management easy for non-hackers

Ubuntu Studio Current Goals

These goals are ongoing and are worked on continuously over many releases.

• Have application categories and documentation follow a workflow based format, so that users who want to do a specific task are easily led to relevant applications.

• Test and tweak the system to find out how performance can be improved for various workflows.
• Look at revamping ubuntustudio-controls to let the user more easily manage the system, without having to edit files manually, or using the terminal to pass commands (realtime privilege, adjusting rtirq - restarting, etc..)
• Investigate the possibility of creating an application that helps the user more easily find tools for workflow specific tasks. Possibly a custom panel.
