Any recommendations for easy-to-use Linux distribution for audio production? I might try PipeWire installation too if it's stable and compatible enough.

I've been using debian based distros for 10+ years for now: started with Ubuntus and the last half I've spent with Debian 9/10 but I've become tired of fixing things. I've considered MX Linux and LMDE. I have some experience with them already (although haven't tried Mint's Debian variant yet).

For years I've been bridging JACK and pulseaudio, but it's never been optimal, hence considering PipeWire. I read somewhere that wire plumber package in MX is broken. Not sure about the current state. I probably need to know things like these beforehand when installing a distro or another.

I've been using Pipewire on NixOS for over a year and it's worked great. Idk if NixOS would be good for you though cause it's pretty hard to learn, but it is really solid.
