Do you have a link to a blog post about your setup? If not, would you consider writing about it?

I am also interested in this!

It would also be great to see some audio latency numbers for ubuntu vs the rest on common hardware

IIRC Ubuntu Studio (and most (all?) professional linux audio systems) uses JACK rather than ASLA/Pulse like most other versions of Ubuntu.

JACK has a reputation for being fiddly to set up, but puts great emphasis on low-latency/real-time and other professional use-cases. I'd expect it to be competitive, but don't really have the knowledge to make the comparisons myself.

I did find this unfinished review of latency in JACK from a few years ago: http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/jack_latency_tests#does_late...

I also would like to know your setup! I'd be very interested!

I was looking into whether I should purchase Windows or buy a Mac to run a DAW, but if you're saying that Ardour is good enough, then I can just install that this weekend!

Just do it! BUT! Commit to using JACK for everything, and get rid of PulseAudio.
