The audio system in linux desktop being broken all the time is in great part due to the complexity of the system. It's not that audio is inherently complex and difficult. It's just the basic model that these systems assume is broken.
Windows and macOS for the most part don't suffer from these problems.
Now, you can completely remove audio support and claim you have a simple system, but how useful would that be?
- Beltalowda 4y ago"Completely removing" audio would be silly of course, but you can "simplify" the audio system, maybe making some trade-offs in capabilities (e.g. no mixing, effects) but still having a functional and usable audio system. (Audio on Linux is not "broken all the time" in my experience by the way; for the most part, it works pretty well out-of-the-box without mucking about. My particular problem is only a practical problem with one particular game that just barely runs on my system anyway.)
