Hey r/linuxaudio,
I’ve been building SelahOS — a Linux distro designed from the ground up for audio work.
Key audio features:
• PipeWire + WireASIO out of the box
• SelahBridge compatibility layer for Windows DAWs
• Realtime kernel privileges pre-configured
• NTSYNC for low-latency Windows application performance
• Digidesign Mbox 2 detected automatically via PipeWire (tested)
• InMusic Software Center confirmed working
Confirmed working hardware:
• MacBookPro14,1 (2017) — i5-7360U
• MacBookPro9,2 (2012) — i5-3210M
• iMac16,2 (2015) — i5-5675R
Still testing: FL Studio, Ableton, Pro Tools via SelahBridge. If you want to help test — download is free at selahos.io.
GitHub: github.com/SelahOS/selahos
Would love feedback from this community specifically on the audio stack.

Hey r/archlinux,
Built on Arch with linux-zen kernel, KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.
What’s different:
• Custom PyQt6 GUI installer (no terminal required)
• SelahBridge — proprietary Wine-based compatibility layer for Windows creative software
• Pre-configured PipeWire + realtime audio
• Chaotic-AUR integrated
• Targets Apple Intel Macs specifically
ISO profile is on GitHub: github.com/SelahOS/selahos
Happy to discuss any of the build decisions. The installer was the hardest part — getting a clean pacstrap flow with a GUI that handles Apple EFI correctly took a lot of iteration.
