PS: I was a GNOME2 user (my stable DAW still is based on GNOME2 ;). It's
not pro-audio, when I upgrade (I upgraded another Linux install) my
setup is completely broken regarding to the work flow. Furthermore, if
the DAW is set up for usage without PA, it's not funny when the upgrade
from GNOME2 to GNOME3 will install PA, as it happened for Debian. My
stable DAW is Edubuntu Maverick, with a lot of outdated apps + some
software from svn, that is more up to date than e.g. Jack2 is for any
distro I know. I switched from Debian to Arch, even for Arch there is
some default dominance anti pro-audio, to be fair, at least it's not
that much work to get rid of some issues, as it is for major distros
like Debian, Ubuntu, Suse.

The available audio software for Linux in the main is pro-audio (SMPTE
etc. are also issues for modern proprietary computer solutions), but the
environments become more anti-pro-audio with every upgrade (I dunno the
state of the art for proprietary solutions, if they should fail too,
it's no excuse for Linux to fail).
