It’s been a while since I’ve had the money/equipment/etc, so this may be out of date information, but there at least used be Ubuntu Studio, too. But nowadays I see a lot of hate for Ubuntu/Canonical, so who knows. Just thought I’d mention it in case it’s helpful to anyone!

(Someone already mentioned Ardour… I think there was Reaper, too, but I could be mixing up my OSes lol. My brain is trash, my apologies)

Oh my goodness, that’s adorable and sweet of your dog! Also, I’m so glad you had such a big laugh. I love when that happens.
