KXStudio also provides a Linux Distribution, currently based on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.Although focused on GNU/Linux, some of our applications work in other Operating Systems.There are also other studio available like ubuntu studio /Dream studio but no one were based on kde so I decided to try this distro ,size of the iso I downloaded was about 1.7 gb .

The kxstudio  installer quickly installed the system as also an option to update distro during installation process , so had a ready to go studio to use for me . The splash screen is just normal kde based.
