I have to confess that it's the only piece of advice from the video I don't subscribe to. I have tried a few of these distros and while it's nice to have everything already set up and many tools installed that we can try, I prefer a cleaner system because I don't need most of this software. Less software means quicker install, less updates and less repos (I use ppas only if I have to).
I use Kubuntu (with the excellent minimal install option) and I don't find it so difficult to enable realtime and install a lowlatency kernel (it's in the basic repos). There's not much to set up, actually, and the French speaking people are lucky to have a website dedicated to music in Linux : http://linuxmao.org.
