Hello everybody ! I've been trying VanillaOS for a week, to do pro audio producing, and while I love some aspects of it, it's been confusing me a lot. A lot. I need your help !
The first problem I have is how to add the "threadirqs" option to the kernel. I tried doing it with ABRoot, launch an ABRoot shell, modify /etc/default/grub to add the option, then run update-grub2 (in ABRoot), then exit the ABRoot shell. However, when I reboot, the file /etc/default/grub in ABRoot doesn't have the line I added anymore, and threadirqs doesn't seem active. I did it a few times, and no improvement. I don't know if this is linked to VanillaOS, or Ubuntu itself.
But what's confusing me even more is, which options should I put in the container, and which options should I put in the host. I run all my music software in the container.
For example, should I create an "audio" group with realtime privileges and add my user to it in the container, or in the host ? Which one will be taken into account ? I have a command installed in the container, "rtcqs", that provides me with information about real-time performance of my system and my kernel, but since it's in the container, I assume it reads only container's system information, which may (or may not ?) be different, or used, or not used. I don't know. Should I install this command in the host, to get proper information ? But that would go against the whole idea of a containerized OS, as I understand it.
I'm sorry if this post is confused, but I am confused ^^' I'm still considering if this distro is suitable for my purpose, or if I should switch to Ubuntu (I come from Fedora, but most audio plugins and DAWs are shipped through .deb, not .rpm, so I want an Ubuntu based distro, even if I love Fedora).
Thank you for your time and excuse my French,
