    Both of these Linux vendors have created what you describe - definitely worth checking out if you are a performing musician. These machines transform into viable, usable instruments - you don't have to do much Linux hacking, you can just plug in and play, like any other electronic musical instrument, and some of the stuff in the NORNS community is amazing for live performance (actually most of it is):

    Both systems will let you play with MOD DUO, which is a plug and play effects system that kicks serious ass:

    Other than that - definitely check out Ubuntu Studio, as others have mentioned. I've been running it for a decade as a production DAW in my studio and it really kicks ass... you will be astonished at what is included, out of the box ..
