Linux Desktop feeling extra good today, my sound often doesn't work but I don't have to deal with Microsoft nonsense.

Frankly, sound has not been a problem for a long time now I think. Hell, the number of time windows killed the sound driver under usage for whatever reason it deemed useful, I actually would say nowadays Windows has the worst audio stack out of the 3 main OSs.

I always seem to have hardware that hits an edge case for Linux support.

Take my gpu's sound support. If I run sound through DisplayPort it runs 40% slower and an octave an a half lower pitch. Over HDMI it runs fine. Oddly, if I have an HDMI device attached sound over DisplayPort runs fine, until the HDMI connection or computer goes to sleep.

My solution ended up being to get a cheap usb sound adapter and skip the gpu audio. As the HDMI would only do 4k at 30hz and DP does 4k at 60hz.
