So far, so good. Thanks much for this!

Mint. I’ve gotten the popping/crackling to a minimum, but it’s still happening occasionally. (Oddly it happens most often with games that have sound disabled both by OS and via in game)

Thanks! Still having some problems with sound popping, but had that under Windows. >.<

Not surprised in the least. It’s all about maintaining incoming cash flow.

They cancelled my Win11 (from purchased Win10 eligible upgrade) key earlier this year when I replaced a failed motherboard.

Happy to be free of their ecosystem. Should have jumped free long ago.

Asha was absolutely put in place to be glass cliffed.

Not sure Xbox will be gone any time soon, but once Asha has taken all the blame they’ll get back to the same old BS.
