Ah okay! Do you use several layers for all the keys you need when you're using a 40% board? I'm using a 60% board atm, and just using one function layer for arrow keys etc.
I'm yet to do much research on the different distros tho.
You got any recommendations for musicians?
A GNU/Linux distribution (distro) is basically a collection of software that has been put together upon the GNU system + Linux Kernel. So, different distros have different profiles, e.g., Arch Linux is very bare bone and doesn't come with any pre-installed programs which means you can build the system you want, it doesn't even have a graphical interface, you'll have to install that yourself. Then you have e.g., Kali Linux which is made for security testing and pen testing, so that distro has a lot of those programs pre installed, so you don't have do install them yourself. Then there are the classic all round distros that are recommended for new users, such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint, those require minimal configuration of the user to get up running, and those are not at all bad distros, they work great and a lot of professionals use them. I wrote a blog post for some friends regarding Linux distros maybe that would be of interest to you,

Nice with music production! Sounds like fun, and that you could have use for a lot of custom macro keyboards
Unfortunately, I don't know so much about what Linux software etc you could use, but you can always install, e..g, Ubuntu, and then install the software. So I don't think it matters too much which distro you use.
I run Debian atm, which is a quite basic distro from scratch so I just install what I need afterwards.
