I've been running Ubuntu Studio for almost a decade, but I'm pretty fed up with it. Maybe I'll switch to Arch. I dunno. Having a turnkey media production distribution was handy. It did audio well. But with pipewire, that seems redundant now.
For your curiosity,
There's also decibellinux. (Formerly known as Gentoo Studio) [Edit: aw. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/decibellinux.org?proto=https is currently down. ... It'll be back again.]
It's not a full studio, just audio production focused (... so install GIMP, MyPaint, Blender, Inkscape, KDENLive, freecad, etc etc etc as needed).
Install as a stage4 gentoo install, following its instructions. It's a little more fiddly and involved than Ubuntu Studio, offering all the gentoo advantages, like useflags, better availing more fine grain choice, and a little more opportunity to learn more about the system.
... As well as being great for [audio] creative tool discovery, and convenience of having [nearly] all the tools out of the box, just like Ubuntu Studio.
