The only issues I’ve had were audio related, first the soundcard wouldn’t work and I switched to a USB mixer, but after waking the computer this morning the USB mixer won’t work and now I have to use the magically working built in sound card. What’s that about?

Anyway, Linux has come a long way. The freezes that sometimes occured in the game I’m playing aren’t even happening anymore.

E: I should probably clarify that the audio issue spans the whole operating system, not just the game.

    Inux might one day achieve 100% compatibility with every gsme ever made running on quad quantum ai kernels and you’ll still be having sound issues, and suspend will sometimes just not work

      I know right. All things considered however I’ve not had too bad of a time. Sound wise I think I’ve just been spoiled by my ThinkPad where everything works perfectly 99.9% of the time.

    What’s that about?

    This has been my exact experience with Linux throughout the last 2 decades. Old computers, new computers, it doesn’t matter. The reliability of the audio systems have always been horrible for me.

      I do not understand how the things work, which means I’m not going to be able to know what needs to happen, but through troubleshooting I pretty much get the feeling that most “solutions” are entirely made up and no one actually understands why those solutions should be made. It’s weird, because other issues don’t generally have that feel.
