Regarding delay, just watch your sample rate (I think that's the setting). If I set mine higher (2048) I get a noticeable delay. If I drop to 1024 it's less, and at 512 it's gone.
You'd be surprised how many programs are installed with the Mint OS system. And more surprised to just click to add, from massive types of apps I the full Software Manager.
Most people miss you also get smooth and open, so safe malware free upgrades, to EVERYTHING installed, without ads, tiers, fees or BS.
So, it Constantly RENEWS it's every fitted, efficient, faster, open parts. There's no need to run Win, Mac or Android apps as emulated, or virtualized over Linux; but you can. Just use the better Linux native alternative for the same jobs. But you'd still have Windows for Windows apps. Now you can use them both, thoroughly for about a year of heavy use if you want, and compare after all the lies are exposed.
Of course there are other great Linux disros (OS' plus); but keep one Linux install for depending on, tweaked a million choices and just the way you like it. So you don't have to backup your data and reinstall, only to tweak your preferences again. You can reinstall in 20m if you break it by flipping every switch, LOL. But save that for your second linux testing distro install (not on same drive) or with different parts like the graphical user interface desktop managers. Mate is fine. just right click taskbar items and unlock them before you choose to move them. and there are three different main menu buttons and styles you get to choose from. for the systems, places, and Things menu as there's fewer clicks to get to your apps or folders.
Don't mix core system stuff on your main working system. But go wild on a second Linux test install you'd reinstall anyway.
Whatever you do, on anything, first have two separate backups of your main stuff.
Timeshift is the auto backup part in linuxmint.
Mate version scales better (systems old to new for standardization). And it's complete helper applets and UI parts; that are easier for new users use very little memory.
Use your newest system. Fight every new Windows roadblock against this. Just read the directions first. Don't drag the download onto your (backed up) USB drive. Use the app that expands linuxmint live on to the stick so it works as if it's a DVD. And it will double as your recovery boot drive for everything. And it fast and easy to rewrite it when a new download is released. (Like a new drive needing new fresh install).
Best is a free or near free, new, quality SSD drive; because it can be a small one. Perfect for Like linuxmint system, where you store your important data on another drive.
All that said: For just one category there is a huge bunch of guitar and music programs good for home and practice *if* your computer doesn't have slow latecy. And it a bear setting latency, so make one change at a time, restart and change it back if it didn't work better. But once due me it's done. And you need to learn about JACK! LOL the virtual patch cable sound system for music is imediacy, just like Windows uses one.
Guitarx is but one app that does multi amp types, effects, etc.
Using a multi use computer in a paid performance is not better; depending on the computer stability, backup, etc... But if you were just wanting, say a looper, for home then that's one of the thousands of things you can do, for free with Mint. And click to install easy.
You have to know to use Line-in; not computer mic in, etc. Which means USB interfacing; but a lot of guitar gear already USB interfacing interfaces. Like the Cube Baby multi FX.
Monoprice 15 what combo amp when it's 200 bucks.
I absolutely adore my MP dred acoustic/electric. Under $80. I paid much less.
The famous Cube Baby that is not from MP and under $40 at Temu, Wish, Bang Goods etc.
And my electric guitars now two of them are of the cheapest E Strat Bay wonders that were both about 58 bucks.
In my previous post I have actually said why with some (you know) reason and logic; that these are beneficial.
Things you can verify. If you were paying attention to people's posts and no just throwing shade, you would notice many happy buyers of these products. Plus you notice many liars who are apparently Sellers and corrupt. Many busted by the words of their own posts.
Tip: Evil never presents itself as evil; but always as if the light.

There is no war. No win vs. Linux. No Mac vs. Linux. No fake, used, (partial Linux mix with closed code and ruined) Android OS. And no tubes vs.non-tubes. So what part of you don't have to choose, just add linuxmint (Mate version) to some reasonably open hardware system and then ALSO have Mint OS and nearly u.nlimited apps, to test and utilize? Because people "throw shade"? Just try it yourself.
When I see anything related to buying pieces of apps, monthly rental of apps and on extremely unsafe operating systems of control, such as GUITAR AMP SIMS then I'm just saying you can do all that for free. Your preference for Mauve or whatever is irrelevant to the fact OTHER apps do it better, for free. Pay all you want. But the "secret" is out. And it is not hippie, nor anti business. Like if you just wanted to pay far to much to buy yourself a new computer with LinuxMint already on it. But why? Even if you're not technical at all, fine then you could get a tech friend, or little child to load it up for you. If your popular hardware is not broken or REALLY old or blocked by closed firmware then it will work. Given LOW specs. Read the site linuxmint.com. Be sure to ask your mom with her computer first. LOL. No; trying Guitarix is good.
This is a guitar centric product, and a bit unrelated but TONEX is the greatest guitar product to come out in over 10 years.
Arturia doesn't even attempt to play in this space.
While Arturia has more permissive auth system than most, IKM has 10 authorizations.
Why would ANYONE have a problem, given a small space and HD space is cheap, having the absolute best of both worlds? I mean take guitar apps. Let say you prefer Windows, fine; but why not see how freedom lives? And it's not just music apps, it's EVERYTHING under the sun.
Everything has pros and cons practically. Who is assuming, because Windows has some issues someone mentions (and nothing perfect; but perfect basically) that then it has to be a war, of only running Windows, or Linux? Do both using Mint, or you can't know. It's not even the same Mint it was last week.
The reason I leave details recommending LinuxMint specifically with the Mate interface is folks do not know which of the many OS's to try first. Many are not for new users and some are not like Windows at all. Why not start with a desktop manager set (UI user interface) that you already understand *and* can place everything on the screen where you like them, just the same? Why not the easy live USB, from downloaded, easy, clear live installer (if you want to) and a total and complete OS that really does just work smoothly? And with more installed apps (NOT like a new computer with bloatware and no meat), like a full office suite INSTALLED, after that amazingly short 20 minutes, and after super easy questions about how you personally want it done. And then doing it all for you. All the heavy lifting geeky stuff. You just have to read the linuxmint site first and you know why. Windows has increasingly added things you must do, for a smooth trouble free install. Like turning off Windows broken hibernation mode; that stops a real shutdown and never marks the drive as closed properly; before the Mint installer will work on that drive to install. It handles the ON switch first menu (GRUB) if you don't skip it (on "sda" if you have one "A" drive), that simply lets you pick Windows or LinuxMint, for example. Run Windows native apps native on Windows, and run Linuxapps native on Linux too. Why not? Sure, you can run both apps at the same time if you have twice the CPU and RAM for virtualization(OS installs); but why not just restart and NOT complicate or mix up things? Just choose Windows or Mint when you turn your computer ON. You can even have it timeout too either one normally. That way all famous computer foul ups are kept in their partitions. If one OS like Windows doesn't startup then you can fix it with the the other one, without waiting. If one pisses you off (Personal Confusers. If it's not one thing then it's your motherboard! LOL), then you can use the other one until it pisses you off. If you want to be safe online then you should surf on linuxmint and the new Firefox browser with adblock installed, and the new DNS auto privacy on high, for every site you visit. And consider using LinuxMint w/Mate for a year of heavy use, back and forth with Windows too. You are doing a valid AB test and on the exact same hardware. You would notice Mint is faster and more efficient loading. And ALL the choices are now yours; so LOL if you break it then you get to backup your data and reinstall.
Backup your Windows personal data files now as usual, and first. Put everything is one folder first if you can. Linux does that. Backups should be on two other drives and stored safely and/or other locations technically. Just basic 101 do your backups FIRST. Like no one does. LOL. But do your backup, please. Then with nothing to lose why not try Linux? Stop this talk about having to pick one or the other. Don't do that. This way there is never a question about needing Windows. You still have Windows when you are sure you had to have it. But no one does. Some of us found this out. And you already KNOW you may need a better alternative; depending on the crap they pull next. Or simply a price increase; that Linuxmint never does! Do not worry about trying many other distro's of Linux. Improved Mint is base on Improved Ubuntu; which is based on improved Debian basically speaking. And after development level, testing level, stable level, then Ubuntu (Uoo-boon'-too, it means hospitality) user enhancements and then LinuxMint super enhancements (they make Cinnamon UI in house so promote it; as that is their baby; but just get Mate instead please. Just set the task bar items and one of 3 menu's like the faster CLASSIC menu start button, yourself with a right click and unlock over each item). You're getting more than 5 levels of betterment and user ease.
This thoroughbred horse has been out of the barn for years now. There is no debate about open software success, at all. So why do people say it anyway? Propaganda. Real. But use it and they are all exposed. And if the idea of backing up first scares you then just get a friend to help you install it. Read and follow all the directions around Windows new "changes" on the linuxmint.com or you may get stuck and join the crew who claim it's not ready, LOL. When YOU are ready it's there for you. Free 24/7 internet help many places. But you know the net is starting to suck with useless info so choose wisely and search wisely. And never type in long command lines manually, just cut and paste them, AFTER you understand what it does. Everything is graphical user interface today in Mint; but it also duplicates a way to also do everything on the super powerful, faster command line. Not like Windows old one. If you run into some needed odd combination issues and need your problem solved, once you find a solution then it's a simple paste, and done operation.
Your hardware must not be dead or dying with any of your computer devices. Then driver modules are automatic, on all know devices that are not maliciously blocked with closed firmware or hacked. There are good computers and computers with bad parts. Desktops are easy to fix. But anything remotely newer should work. Linux is NOT for older computers only; but it does do better there where Windows is dead. But that's not fast at all and people will give you a "fast" computer now-a-days. The requirements are less than Windows. But why not compare on your computer hardware evenly? I'm not exaggerating by saying if mint will not auto install on your computer then you would be better off with a faster free one. And then the entire thing is free (already paid). Why would you want to pay over and over and over? That said there is no substitute for speedy hardware. But a BLEEDING edge overpriced systems and then one MIGHT require a few days patience to stabilize, by auto upgrade. So you can get practically the fastest computer and value for MUCH less, that's also about the same speed at a bargain and just works, as very stable out of the box, without any waiting. And you can go WAY back to computers current Windows will NOT run on and be fast enough with LinuxMint, if you must. Try for the minimum of 64bit dual CPU and a 4GB Ram at least, which is considered ancient, by some. So there a WIDE range just not forever with this particular distro. Yes you can get special distros for older gear; but it's a slow waste of your time.Works well though for the basics. It's easy to forget how different and more limited they were when to far back to antiques, just for fun. That's not what we're doing hear. Music requires LOW latency fast CPU, to a point. And you'd want the best setting and a more modern sound device sometimes. Etc... Vacuum the crap out of your computer regularly and test the hardware devices first. Again use your NEWEST computer. Not your oldest. The hardware would be the issue then.
And if you only have a phone that will not install Ubuntu Touch (most of them) then it's really NOT your phone. Because you are not the administrator of you own phone. And that's not freedom. It's a rental you bought like it's not; but with less rights. And not secure. The safest place to surf is over a (uncorupted) Linux OS. Of course, any user can do unsafe things on any OS; but that's not software in your separate computers OS. No matter whatever else you try to do; if the core OS (system) has back doors and close code, with malware at base foundation of it (root, superuser) and you cannot trust auto upgrading the OS, without BS parts that you didn't request, then it's not secure or actually all yours (by EULA); because it's bad, from below. No matter the top dressing of armor. Keep that crap up and it will get even worse. FYI.
TLDR: If you want your computer, for it's breadth and guitar and music apps and presets; that it can do instead of individual pieces of gear, made for reliability and instant ON performances (without your regular computer, like the Cube Baby to start or for backup) then why not ALSO download, install to LIVE USB to test your hardware, and install Mate version of linuxmint (the easiest) Do NOT worry about which Linux distro is the best (all good forks of originals for special tasks) nor your new user time with those distro's not already built out at install). Then one click installs of any music app you want; that use free and open sourced things like different amps sims. SO name your amp(s) and get it, for free. Tones, IR's and effects etc...Nothing sold.
And fight the idea you must use either Windows OR Linux. Keep everything you bought; even if you never need it again. And you have the best that each OS can do.
So once again we have BOTH, some things better by combo and some not by being individual, or few it it's mix. What I recommend is optimized for both, for about $235 TOTAL and there is practically nothing you can not do with it. And could still add a individual pedal you might feel has no equal or just like, if not to many and STILL be the lowest possible pro setup. And that's capabilities, paid or just for fun.
The elephant in the room it's not wrong to recommend gear that costs almost nothing when it does the job and the rest is only in your head. See right there,everyone who made this mistake is pissed and NOT READY to admit guitar does not have to be expensive, or add expensive custom parts or change any. A good setup for example is that big of a deal. And much better if you do you own. Because it's once per guitar and then typical basic tune up occasionally.
I hear otherwise wise sounding guitarist claiming guitars will not hold tune. Even those who know your strings have to be played in. Well FIX IT THEN. It's not that hard. Nor expansive. Nor does it require expensive tools. Just simple know how a good video can show you. See stew mac. It's fun. And even LESS time too; because you do not have to drive back and forth to the music store.
Think please: If someone received a $60 guitar for example,and it was broken at all, or beyond easy repair, or even NOT typical, unwanted easy repair (did it say pro setup or not) then why didn't they send it back for a full refund, or better? Do you know how fast an online seller goes down, for not being as advertised and bad reviews? But do not assume everything you read online is the whole truth. Verify! And do not abuse sellers who honor all returns or you may lose them or never see a bargain again. We don't want built in price fixing, as if insurance. That's not a win/win deal in the end.
So, if the SLICKEST deal is absolutely free then that's they way it is. There is no good reason to lie about it. Note: And there's much reason; that's not good! Such as in online posts. Govern yourself accordingly. I've verified what I recommend and you can and should to. Don't assume falsely and don't listen to those wanting you too.
If you do not believe there is much propaganda desperately trying to get you to believe you should not try linuxmint.com (w/Mate) then watch this silly video. It's an obvious teaching joke.Parroting the lies to expose them. You need sharp reasoning skills to get it. And not just because something is stated to sound reasonable. If you can....
