The fact that I could just install linux and run my current game with (almost) zero issues impresses me immensely! (lemmy.world)

The only issues I've had were audio related, first the soundcard wouldn't work and I switched to a USB mixer, but after waking the computer this morning the USB mixer won't work and now I have to use the magically working built in sound card. What's that about?

Anyway, Linux has come a long way. The freezes that sometimes occured in the game I'm playing aren't even happening anymore.

E: I should probably clarify that the audio issue spans the whole operating system, not just the game.

Yeah it's been so much worse just some years ago. I'm forever traumatised by the acronym ALSA.

ALSA was a big step up over OSS.
