However, in the end I decided on Locos Linux (in its KDE Plasma flavor), a distribution focused on optimizing resource consumption as much as possible. https://loc-os.com/
I'm going to test it for a few days, if it doesn't satisfy me, I'll try the always reliable and pleasant Mint in its Debian flavor.
I'm currently using AVLinux, based on Linux MX, which in turn is based on Debian 11. It's a very good distribution focused on music.
I've been using AVLinux for more than 3 years now, and it's getting old. For example, it uses Qt5, and Rui has stopped supporting Qt5.
It already comes with almost all the software and plugins preinstalled and preconfigured. Curiously, it doesn't come with Qtractor.
However, this time I prefer a generic distribution to install only what I'm really going to use.
Every so often I have to reinstall from scratch, that's how it is :).
...
I'll tell you that it's GTK and Qt just to share knowledge.
They are two development frameworks.
The Gnome, XFCE, LXDE desktop is based on GTK.
KDE Plasma, LXQt on Qt.
This sometimes causes bugs due to library clashes and visual inconsistencies between Qt applications on Gtk desktops and vice versa.
Curiously, Cinnamon is based on an old version of Gnome (GTK), and yet the palette button error does not appear (perhaps precisely because it is based on an old version).
So Linux Mint LMDE 6 (based on Debian 12 with Cinnamon) might be a good choice for me.
