Ubuntu Studio

Let me get started in saying this may not work on a old computer from 1999. But it will defiantly work on anything that can run at least windows 7. If you're unsure what Ubuntu is, well simply put it's a Operating system like "MacOS" or "Windows". The big difference is its free and open source!Some genius decided to make a version of Ubuntu with the artist in mind! So I'd like to introduce you to Ubuntu Studio!
