If Ubuntu has trouble with your WIFI card, Mint will presumably also,
since it is a «re-mix» of Ubuntu.
Once you have got the reference of your Wifi card you presumably find
advices through Google.
I'm running Mint15 MATE after some happy years with Ubuntu gnome, to
avoid Unity, and to have the same system as 2 children mine. But there
is indeed ways to avoid the «Maclike» Unity in Ubuntu, and yes there is
this special Ubuntu for real time music (not my cup of tea)
Anyway, enjoy Linux
Marc Sabatella a écrit :
Thanks for the advice so far! I have neither attachment nor aversion
to any particular desktop and wouldn't know the the difference between
KDE, Gnome, or Unity. At this point, Unity is the one will be most
familiar with since I have been using the last 24 as I've been booting
from a Ubuntu flash drive attempting to get my computer working again.
So, even though I don't get wireless, I plugged into an ethernet cable
and was able to get online. Went to install MuseScore, and without
asking it gave me 1.2. I take it there are handstands I can go
through in order to get 1.3, but this is one of the things I am hoping
to avoid by picking the "right" Linux in the first place. Are there
distros that tend to get MuseScore updates more regularly?

Setting up a MuseScore dev environment should be pretty easy in
any modern linux distribution.
Mint (http://www.linuxmint.com/) seems to have quite some leverage
in the past years.
More than a distribution, you want to choose a desktop environment
(KDE, Gnome, Unity, Cinnamon...)
The "new Gnome desktop" Michael is talking about, is not Gnome but
Unity.
Ubuntu Studio is the audio optimized version of Ubuntu. The main
difference is the real time kernel I believe. It's probably the
most used audio optimized linux distrib. There are other audio
specific distrib like Tango Studio.
FWIW, Werner is running the last Kubuntu 13.10 (correct me if I'm
wrong). Travis, our CI system, is running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server
Edition 64 bit.

Marc I would recommend installing Ubuntu Studio.
I'm currently running Ubuntu Studio Precise Pangolin which is
the LTS
version.
Installation and setup was completely painless and ensured all
media
production work was working properly unlike the standard
version of Ubuntu
which I found had to have sharing settings adjusted before
audio related
stuff like Ardour would work properly.
You are also not forced into using the new Gnome desktop which
I know some
people hate (myself included)
Just my 2p :)
