Hey Guys,
tl;dr I need a new linux that doesn’t use pulseaudio in anyway to replace my stock distribution of Ubuntu
I’m getting frustrated with Ubuntu not doing what I want it to do. More specifically the extent of pulseaudio’s integration meaning that good ol’ ALSA support is very lacking. The problem is, by removing pulseaudio I am unable to use my microphone. By using pulseaudio, I have to put up with the 1S speech delay on my microphone.
I’m not really sure if pulseaudio is a GNOME decision, or an Ubuntu decision. Something needs to be done. I can’t stay with Ubuntu because it’s just not working. I also think unity sucks, and it’s where Ubuntu is headed.
Anyway, the point of this post is to ask those in IPX running linux systems for suggestions to a new linux distro. I have tried Debian in the past, and really hated it so that’s out.
