If you want more information and help, we could stay in contact I would be pleased to help and see if we can find any ways to make it work for your needs. But basically what I would do is: based on the distro you want to use, configure it for real time and pro-audio according to the community recommendations. Then depending on your needs for the virtual instruments, see whether specific plugins increase latency to a level that is sustainable or not for your usage. I could do some testing if i have time. Anyway it was my next step to look into for my new native instruments setup.
