LowLatency kernel already in default installation?

cluster

I would like to install an audio workstation DAW w/ antergos, so I should use a LowLatency kernel (a pure RT kernel is not required). Is the default kernel already a LowLateny kernel & is suitable for audio and multimedia production?

Linux antergos 4.20.3-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 16 22:38:58 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Antergos is not offering a pre-configuration install for a professional audio workstation.

thanks for reply!
but did not PREEMPT means the kernel already use low-latency capacities?

Modern Linux systems are more than capable of supporting your (semi-)professional audio needs. Latencies of 5ms down to even as low as 1ms can be achieved with good hardware and proper configuration.

@cluster
I guess it is quite easy to test how well Antergos would suit your needs.
As @joekamprad already linked, the chances are good.

Also a simple test in Virtualbox VM might provide useful info.
