Ubuntu Studio is a operative system, and an official flavor of Ubuntu. Ubuntu Studio is the most widely used multimedia orientated GNU/Linux distribution in the world. It comes preinstalled with a selection of the most common free multimedia applications available, and is configured for best performance for the Ubuntu Studio defined workflows: Audio, Graphics, Video, Photography and Publishing. pre-installed. With low latency kernel and pipewire on pulseaudio.
Do you create content? Audio? Video? Images? If that's what you spend your time doing, there's a Linux distribution specifically designed for you. That distribution is another official "flavor" of Ubuntu, called Ubuntu Studio, and with it, you'll find nearly everything you need to work on your creative endeavors.

Ubuntu Studio uses the KDE Plasma desktop but opts to go with a single, top-bar panel and a decidedly dark theme. This take on KDE Plasma makes interacting with the desktop as simple as it gets.
