Re: Which Linux distro for Lilypond

[Alasdair McAndrew]

I haven't followed the complete thread, but I'm a current happy 
user of Archlinux, and it runs Lilypond, Frescobaldi fine.  Also, 
I have managed to set up the Midi interface so that I can play the 
midi output from within Frescobaldi.

Arch has particularly fine documentation, and its wiki contains 
some of the best, clearest, and most useful help and advice I've 
found for any distribution (and I've used plenty!).

There's a perception that Arch is "difficult", which I think is 
overplayed.  Anyway, the time spent tinkering with Arch and 
getting it running to your satisfaction is good sysadmin practice.

As well as the wiki, there's a helpful forum, and a subreddit.

cheers,
Alasdair
