From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux audio stuttering when opening separate application, how to prioritise audio when using Linux? (lemmy.ml)

Spotify, freetube, youtube website, either it's a streaming issue or an audio playback issue. Whenever my cpu is working too hard audio playback stutters and delays making it unlistenable. Actually some games have alright audio so I think it's a streaming issue. Anyway I want to know how to prioritise sound streaming or playback cpu in linux?

none of these applications require particularly low latency, so if you're on Pipewire, you can increase both min, max and default quantum to something like [1024, 4096]. i have to do this on my N100 laptop and it helps a lot.

pw-top tells you which app uses which quantum too, and often times, your machine will slightly struggle with apps that suddenly demand lower quantums and cause stuttering. increasing the min quantum fixes this issue.
