 ===== Hardware ===== ===== Hardware =====
 This manual assumes you're on a X86_64 platform. Any notebook or desktop computer using this platform should work but bear in mind that the more powerful your computer, the better it will run a Linux audio system. Linux audio applications and plugins can be very resource intensive so the more CPU and memory, the better. Using an Solid State Drive (SSD) as the main hard drive is also recommended. This manual assumes you're on a X86_64 platform.

 +Bear in mind the KX Studio repositories are showing their age and that the versioning of the packages uses a higher [[https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#version|epoch]] than their Debian or Ubuntu counterparts (if those exist). This prevents newer versions in the default repositories to not get installed or update over packages already installed from KX Studio.
