obviously lots of these “just work” for most people.

    I tried to solve my audio issue yesterday (im a new linux user)

    The audi from hdmi -> monitor is scratchy… most of the time

    Guide says uninstall pulse audio. I run the terminal command, cant do that because of popOS desktop requires pulseaudio. Ok. Cant remove popOS desktop either because it will break stuff.

    Cant install new audio software either because it conflicts with what i got already…

    Found an issue posted on github about it from 2019… “issue closed”

    I might try just using a different distro 👨‍💻

      I would recommend to switch as well, PopOS isn’t that actively developed at the team, because the team is currently developing its own desktop environment which isn’t out yet. Linux Mint is great for new users (especially from Windows) and supports all major desktop environments. If you don’t have anything against using the command line from time to time, both Debian and Fedora are great options, Debian isn’t corporate-run but Fedora gets faster updates.

    21 comments and nobody has yet complained about this meme’s chronology being wrong? (OSS was before ALSA.)

    Pipewire still does the volume at 100 thing. This is very funny when I’m on my high quality USB DAC where 100% volume can definitely break my eardrums and possibly also my headphones. I think I may have finally learned via pain to not have my headphones on when plugging them in.

    Other than that, it tends to work pretty much all the time as expected.
