The kernel included with Ubuntu Studio is modified for intensive audio, video or graphics work. The scheduler allows applications to request immediate CPU time, which can drastically reduce audio latency. Ubuntu Studio also includes custom artwork, a blue-on-black theme as opposed to Ubuntu's default brown and orange.

There is currently no live version available of Ubuntu Studio, and consequently, no graphical installer. In addition, the disk image is 800MB, too large to fit on a standard CD, and as a result, Ubuntu Studio is often installed from a DVD. Ubuntu Studio can also be installed via the Internet from an existing Ubuntu installation via apt.
