    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.

      I was one of those Windows people. I downloaded better programs instead of the default ms garbage. Eventually, I switched OS.

      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.

          I have to agree, I have not had any of the infamous desktop audio issues in the decade or so I’ve been running Linux on things. I’ve had plenty of wake from sleep issues and plenty of other issues which are definitely my fault, but never audio

          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.

        Which audio stack are you referring to?
        Pipewire doesn’t have many issues even in the pro-audio space.
        If you’re referring to Jack, PulseAudio, & Alsa, etc. then you have something in common with the Pipewire devs. The entire reason for Pipewire is solve the issues with the other audio stacks.
        We tend to criticize these aspects directly to devs because it’s more effective than criticizing it on some random forums.

        Curious how your experience with pipewire is. I’ve tried it with Bitwig studio and the latency seems very good.
