I mean, linux is a joke. But "sound doesn't work in linux" isn't a joke. That's serious.

oss worked if you had a sound blaster compatible card. then the ac97 chipset came out and nothing worked. alsa replaced oss and nothing worked.

at some point someone figured out how to make the bog standard realtek audio chipsets work without requiring a bunch of bullshit and the linux audio jokes mostly became passe

every year i install lunix on the desktop to see if i can use it yet without some awful, screeching flaw.

last year, i installed ubuntu. i updated it. i installed the nvidia drivers. the machine would load the kernel and then immediately hang. lol
this year, i replaced the desktop with a laptop and egpu, so i have few hopes my experiment will go well

hrm, was inspired by this thread to install fedora 31 since my current project actually involves a lot of file-touching not running exactly impressively on my dying ssd in windows. it hardlocks my xps15 on trying to start xorg.

i almost suspect my media is corrupt, because this has to be among the more common linux laptops around, but have other things to do, so left for another day.

i can't determine whether it would have made sounds, since the lock happens a bit too early to make it convenient to test.

at some point of my history of terrible os choices I was a gentoo user

I don't remember any problem with the sound, at least not any problem that stood out among all the other problems

that is a way oversimplifying history of the hilarity of audio on linux, it was a solid 20 years of poo poo being broken and almost always for really dumb reasons.

it might currently work ok, but that's only a short blip until someone (well, if anyone cares as much about desktop linux as ubuntu did back in the early days of pulseaudio) pushes pipewire into service.

i actually agree with that - if pipewire actually sets out to replace pulseaudio, sound on linux will turn to poo poo for years

posting from cheap used thinkpad that i just got from courier, installed ubuntu so i can proudly say that i can use linux, never used one, so far it's ok, still think win10 is superior for every day use, maybe i'll install arch some day on it, for now i think it's too much for me
