Ubuntu Studio vs. Ubuntu
Some differences are more evident between Ubuntu Studio and plain, vanilla Ubuntu. These would include a different theme and background and a different battery of installed applications.
But Ubuntu Studio is more than just Ubuntu with a slick theme and extra packages installed. There are several subtle and prevasive differences including:
- real-time kernel
- limits.conf
- audio group
- jack vs. pulseaudio

Ubuntu Studio uses the real-time kernel which is modified with the preempt patch by Ingo Molnar. This helps reduce the amount of latency which is very beneficial for audio work.
The low levels of latency that can be achieve in Linux uses the real-time kernel can surpass those available under Windows and Mac.
