Hello,
I am using Fedora Workstation with the stock kernel and Gnome Desktop for my recording attempts with Ardour. I am using the Focusrite Scarlett USB sound card and I can get down to 40ms latency without getting any xruns (a couple of releases back, it was an xrun hell). I am aware that the 40ms are nothing really good, but since I only do some folkie stuff (upto 15 tracks) it is OK for me and I think that you can make music on Gnome Desktop.
However, I am totally aware that people like to use what they are used to.

This is exactly the kind of feedback i'm looking for. Thanks! I do know that under Plasma and Xfce I've seen < 2ms latency with the right hardware (PCI cards, primarily). I've been able to push my Behringer UMC404HD (a USB interface) under 10 before. I have yet to do any formal testing on GNOME, but I'm glad to read what you wrote. Thanks!
