You know, I don't get this joke. I have been using Linux and BSD since 2019, and the only incident I ever had was with sndio(7), and that was because I decided to switch to the -current branch of OpenBSD without heeding the warnings.

Apart from that, whether I was using ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, JACK, or OSS (on FreeBSD), I always had a perfect experience.

    The joke is they can't hear them because their audio broke. You're overthinking it. Lol.

    No, that bit's funny. I mean the running joke about Linux audio being bad.

    Oh. To be fair, the PulseAudio days started off REALLY shit and JACK/ALSA had the limitations of "locking" an audio device to a specific process/application, so it used to be much rougher.

    Ever since pipewire came along, it's been really solid.
