Agreed. I’ve been slowly moving the machines onto nixOS, and I’m reformatting an older Mac for a neighbor on nixOS as well. On the livecd it runs impressively fast, but on OSX it’s so slow as to be unusable. Windows is now so actively hostile that it’s time to make the jump.
Time to switch to a Linux distro that works. There’s plenty good ones out there, your people must be picking the shit ones… Or compiling their own and badly.
I mean I know people who are still trying to find bypasses to get around Microsoft and their online only strategy.
If you’re still doing this, you.need to try Linux.

Uhm, but why NixOS?

I know people who are still trying to find bypasses so they can use their audio in Linux.
Time for them to switch to Windows.
In the 10-ish years I use Linux, I’ve never had any sound issues. I really don’t get how people think this is still an issue.

Any distro that uses Pipewire (most at this point) is incredibly stable with the audio setup.
PulseAudio was a bit rough at the beginning, but it got much better. But Pipewire at this point is hands down amazing.
