I hate to be this guy, but after being mad that Pop OS now defaults to pipewire, it’s pretty fucking nice. It’s stable and a little annoying to configure, but it works so much better than pulse. Perhaps consider switching?
My current distro also uses pipewire and I’ve had no issues. I haven’t even needed to configure anything. I originally went to Linux when my XP install died and I couldn’t afford a Win7 license. I was happy enough with Win10 to migrate to that when it came out, and now that Microsoft is forcing people onto Win11 I’m back to Linux as my primary. Pipewire and Proton really took Linux from ‘good enough’ to ‘actually quite nice’.
