I recently stumbled on the Audiophile Linux project, one of a number of special-purpose music-oriented Linux distributions. Audiophile Linux :
– is based on ArchLinux
– provides a real-time Linux kernel customized for playing music
– uses the lightweight Fluxbox window manager
– avoids unnecessary daemons and services
– allows playback of DSF and supports the usual PCM formats
– supports various music players, including one of my favorite combos : MPD + Cantata
The Audiophile Linux site hasn’t shown a lot of activity since April 2017, but it does contain some updates and commentary from this year. Given its orientation and feature set, I decided to take it for a spin on my old Toshiba laptop.
