But it depends on your hardware too,
I had a torrid time with audio being pegged to FSD (127) using various Gen 8, 9, 10 NUC but NOT on my gen 6.
(xubuntu, 20.04 but all from kde, gnome to lxde and lxqt)
I think its all to do with the intel-microsoft conspiracy to force users of new hardware (gen 8 + cpu) to use windows 10. Earlier windoze won’t run on later hw.
