obviously lots of these “just work” for most people.

    Exactly. They just work. I’ve only used PulseAudio and Pipewire recently, but both of them just worked. It was maybe 10-15 years ago, when I had troubles with sound on Linux. Or with anything at all, really.

    But that’s also true that I’m not trying to build my own OS by using Gentoo or Arch or Linux from Scratch. I’ve been using Manjaro, because it’s not bloated, yet it has everything I need, and it just works.

      I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I’ve used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I’ve never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

      That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.
