相对于普通的的">Ubuntu Linux而言，Ubuntu Studio更适合于多媒体设计人员，也就是说Ubuntu Studio更适合经常搞图片和电脑音乐的Linux爱好者们。
Ubuntu Studio采用的是GNOME的界面，内置了多种Ubuntu本身没有内置的图片、音乐与影片编辑工具，并且还附带了一套可以与Mac媲美的主题。
据悉，ubuntu studio x将会使用GNOME+KDE双桌面，参考了大量Archlinux、fedora、Debian与opensuse的设计灵感，同时还会完善内核，增加更多针对多媒体爱好者开发的软件包，例如dssi-vst和wine。
UbuntuStudio v11.04发行说明：
Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia editing/creation flavor of Ubuntu, built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphics enthusiast or professional.
The Ubuntu Studio team is very excited over its ninth release: Natty Narwhal 11.04, available as a 1.5GB DVD iso image from http://ubuntustudio.org/downloads/ Numerous improvements have been implemented for this release, but here are some of the more notable.
Installation tasks
The task selections during installation have been updated. The audio tasks have been parsed into two groups: generation and recording. The 'generation' task selections is focused more on synthesizers and sequencers (i.e. tone generation) and the 'recording' task focuses on recording live musician performances.
Kernel
Currently, Ubuntu Studio is shipping the -generic kernel. We are working with the Ubuntu Kernel Team to get a -lowlatency kernel into the archives which will then ship, in addition to the -generic kernel, in Ubuntu Studio. An interim -lowlatency kernel is available in Allesio Bogani's PPA.
If possible please report any testing results comparing the -generic kernel performance compared to the -lowlatency kernel performance at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime#Natty%20Benchmarks.
Network
Due to continuing problems, network-manager will replace gnome-network-admin. If performance degradation is experienced, please contact the Ubuntu Studio developer via email email or on IRC (#ubuntustudio-devel on freenode).
Package selection
The installed packages have changed. The packages shipped in Ubuntu Studio are more focused to support identified tasks and their derived work flows. Please note that this is a work in progress. If your favorite package is not include, please inform us about it and consider updating the task/work flows wiki page.
Unity
Ubuntu Studio does not currently use Unity. As the user logs in it will default to Gnome Classic Desktop (i.e. Gnome2).
ubuntustudio-controls
We were hoping to have -controls updated for Natty but it appears to we will not be done in time. Therefore we will be removing -controls from Natty as it's functionality is either not needed or broken.
We plan to continue working on it and hopefully SRU it into Natty later.
