What went wrong?
OSS

Linux adopted ALSA because it had better drivers.
Landon Nelson
OSS3 was shit.
OSS4 tried to be proprietary.
So ALSA won on the driver's end and Pulse fixed shared functionality like per-application volume mixing and an API you can actually develop against without going insane, regardless if you want to handle a buffer yourself or not.
Ethan Russell
They got greedy.
Christian Torres
what happened to JACK?
Gavin Hall
Still around, god-damn is jack good.
Josiah Gray
Why is Linux audio a piece of shit?
All I want to do is run supercollider and be able to have the microphone working in Firefox. Is that too much to ask?
Turns out I need to use pulseaudio with Jack and Firefox doesn't have support for this. So now I need to get an add-on for Firefox which opens things in chrome.
What a convoulted messy piece of shit.
Jose Brooks
You're a piece of shit, stinky.
Nicholas Sanders
still less bloated and better than poettershit
Dominic Russell
Ride.
James Garcia
Fucking Pulse.
Jace Clark
That's great and all, but ALSA is Linux-only, so it's fucking useless. Linux devs could either play along with BSD and share ALSA with them, or go back to OSS now that it's free again, but of course they decided to do exactly none of those.
Christian Wood
OSS still has better sound quality.

ALSA, because NiH syndrome.
Also, Linus ignoring Tanenbaum's wisdom and implementing a clusterfuck of a monolithic kernel with an smp lock labyrinth and absolute shit latency.
If you really, really want to run Linux on a desktop, try this from rt-tests:
# cyclictest --smp -p98 -m
Absolute garbage, right? Go linux-rt, try that again, then never look back.
Jose Rodriguez
They went closed source for a while like absolute retards, meaning their monopoly on sound systems disappeared overnight and nobody even tried to touch them. Result is that people focused development on the trash that was alsa while OSS was left to rot. Now it's too little too late.
Cameron Cox
Just use chrome outright. There's literally no reason to use firecuck in the modern day anyway. And you're placing the blame on GNU when the problem is mosjwilla being niggers as always. Modern firecuck spies on you even MORE than chrome (let alone chromium which has only limited spying) while being slow, bloated and unstable as fuck (and as you've experienced, it's very limited in its software support).
If you need privacy-safe browsing, try otter browser. Just like every single last browser out there it's a chrome clone of course, but it's the best of the pile of shit.
Ethan Foster
bash: cyclictest: command not found
I don't see a problem here.

I didn't know you could retroactively close a piece of software linked to the GPL kernel.
Henry Perry
AUR rt-tests, ymmv in some other distro.
Me neither.
Angel Turner
Who said anything about retroactive?
Grayson Wilson
Well if it wasn't retroactive, then I fail to see the point of writing an entirely new solution completely from scratch instead of maintaining the existing one.
Also, the question remains: I thought you couldn't close a piece of software linked to the GPL kernel.
Elijah Reed
Solution: Use Linux.
Samuel Rivera
That's a funny way to spell linux-rt.
Eli Green
Unironically install Gentoo, FF has JACK support there thanks to USE flags.

I'd rather get waterboarded.
Ethan Harris

>reverse engineering proprietary binaries
But I thought the good thing about open source was that anyone can maintain it, user.
Colton Walker
Are you OK user? Are you having a stroke?
Nathaniel Murphy
Nah, I just laughed too hard at you freetards and ended up pooping a little.
Hunter Myers
I think you pooped more than poo, or maybe your anatomy is upside-down. Eitherway you should ask a doctor to fix you up.
Jackson Bell
>I think
Nah, you don't. You wouldn't use Loonix if you did.
Robert Morris
Thanks for confirming the hypothesis.

No thanks. I want a usable system without having to compile every time.
