Best Linux distro for QLC+

I am building a machine for QLC+ exclusively.

Which Linux distribution will run QLC+ the most reliably? My main goal is to specifically eliminate audio lag in the Show Manager (and avoid crashes in general).

My guess is either... Ubuntu? Fedora? Debian? Mint?

Which distro does Massimo test, build, and compile with? ;)

At the moment I use Ubuntu 20.04 with KDE (basically Kubuntu)
Over the years I ended up using only LTS versions.

I use Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE too installed from Kubuntu. I use Pipewire Audio installed from Pipewire PPA see URL attached.

After four hours of fighting, I finally got Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed on my laptop (I needed the latest version to support my NVidia GPU).

So now which is the recommended way to install QLC+ software?
Package downloaded from qlcplus.org?
Ubuntu Snap Store?
Command line install with apt-get install?
