Likely just a driver issue.
I actually had the opposite situation with Ubuntu 20.04 on my desktop, got a lot less noise from my mic port under Ubuntu for some reason.
- hutzlibu 5y ago"just a driver issue" Oh. Just a driver issue on Linux. Well then, problem solved.
- gkbrk 5y ago"Just a driver issue", unless it's a temporary regression in the Linux drivers, basically means the hardware manufacturer didn't use standard interfaces or write a good-enough spec for interoperability. Solutions are calling your manufacturer and filing a support request, or voting with your wallet and picking another manufacturer next time.
- hutzlibu 5y agoHow many hardware manufacturers tell you that their device is supported on linux?
- gkbrk 5y agoLenovo, Dell, Intel, Realtek, nvidia, Logitech, Samsung, AMD and many other big brands tell me clearly on their product spec that their hardware supports Linux. It's not like there is a shortage of choice.
- hutzlibu 5y agoOh, can you tell me then, of a Laptop with Touchscreen, good hardware and Linux support? I have been looking for one since ages.
- gkbrk 5y agoThinkpads and a lot of Dell laptop models both have good hardware and Linux support. I cannot recommend a laptop with a touchscreen, as I have never used nor needed one.
- stevewodil 5y agoDell XPS 15 or 17? I had a Matebook X Pro and it worked really well with Ubuntu but the battery life was terrible in Linux. Maybe it's something that's been fixed or can be tweaked.
- hutzlibu 5y agoBattery life on linux laptops can be indeed improved by tweaking, I did so on various devices. But I never came close to windows battery life and I allmost bricked a brand new laptop while doing so (only save was to tear it apart). So beware of what you are doing.

- kissickas 5y agoThinkpad X1 Carbon, although I'm not sure what the touchscreen support actually looks like (I bought the Windows version of the machine and installed my own Linux distro)
- selfhoster11 5y agoHah, that's a good one. Voting with your wallet never helps when you are a niche within a niche, like a Linux user.
- ryankrage77 5y agoEither you can install good proprietary drivers from the manufacturer, or they don't exist and you have to make do with the open source ones.
