Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    If nobody bashes the negative and half assed aspects of Windows then Microsoft will start getting lazy.
    Windows isn't the the only thing that gets criticized, we also criticize various Linux projects.
    Even some Windows users critize Windows too.
    Chosing to outright dismiss criticism is a bad thing that only serves to hamper growth.

    Well you do have a point, I just don’t see a lot of people taking criticism of Linux poor audio seriously.

    Linux audio is genuinely torture, with latency and sampling rate issues, that have never been present in Windows or OSX.

    I am not an audio expert by any means. I am a gamer though and haven't noticed any issue with audio on Linux in any distro I've tried in the past 2 years.

    Every linux distro I've used, and every device I've used them on, I've had to do hours, sometimes days of googling and editing config files just to get the audio to work right. Then half the time I update and it's broken again.

    I'm a major linux newbie though. Not in terms of actually being new, but in terms of having no clue how to fix basic things.

    Have you tried the PipeWire stack?
    It tends to be able to handle everything for you.
