Rosegarden looks VERY promising... and I can't wait to get it opens a
new can of worms... which linux distro should I install?
I've read your FAQ, but it barely says anything about choosing a distro.
Can someone help me gather the bits and pieces I need to get started?
As in my search for a DAW, I'm looking for a distro with as little
distraction as possible.
I'm happy with having to install stuff in a
terminal, use bash... yet I'd like to spend as little time as possible
struggling with drivers.
That really depends on what audio device you have...

I have a focusrite Scarlett solo sound card
This should work out of the box in 'class compliant' mode.
I want to use my dualo du-touch as a midi keyboard
It is my understanding I need to decide on a linux distro, and then
install ALSA and JACK before installing Rosegarden and Lillipond?
I think all of those are pullled in by most distributions when
installing jack (maybe Lilypond is optional in some cases).
Can you recommend a lightweight distro that's got what it takes to code
and make music, yet has minimal sources of distraction?
This one is really hard. Recommending a distribution is like
recommending food,or shoes.. everyone has their personal preferences :-)
I'm quite happy with Manjaro XFCE (Arch derivative), since a while both
as a 'general' distribution and for music/audio as it has all the needed
core packages as well as AUR.
Hope this helps,
Lorenzo.
