Pipewire has made Linux the best audio stack in the world by some margin.
1 comments

It's barely usable when paired with the Realtime patchset.

An actual OS that constitutes a "good audio stack" would be able to provide hard realtime (i.e. formally guaranteed maximum latencies), like seL4 does.

Linux-rt is just probabilistic. It behaves much better than mainline, but latency could spike anytime.
