There is Ubuntu Studio - which I've never seen/used. Never needed that.<br>
Distros are just a convenience 99% of the time. Any linux install can<br>
run pretty much any linux program with next to zero effort for end-user<br>
tools just a few installs from a repo away.<br>

Audio and video have "just worked" in Linux for about a decade. Of<br>
course, there are always a small percentage of systems that have odd<br>
hardware where things don't "just work."<br>
<br>
So what, exactly, do you mean by "handle?"<br>
