From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There’s still a fine line to draw between usability and performance
ALSA is too low level for musicians to reasonably understand
Having something like PipeWire to make it easier to configure isn’t a bad thing
People here also are asking for super low-latency
That’s another nice thing about PipeWire.
It supports configuring JACK for you if you need low latency
One person above(Audbol) want to go even lower.
You lost track of the conversation. That was about ALSA
