## Linux Questions

### How come audio isn't working on Ubuntu / Ubuntu forks?
### Audio isn't working on Debian, Ubuntu or some other Distribution?

- Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros may have issues and are not supported, try switching to another distro. Debian is a great alternative if you are used to Ubuntu.

### Why are Ubuntu/Ubuntu based distros not supported?

- They consistently break packages.
- They have started to force snap on their users.
- They have published an LTS distro with a non-LTS kernel.

Becuse of these things, Ubuntu is unsupported. We will not help you fix issues on Ubuntu.
- Old (>1 year) LTS releases may have issues and are not supported, try switching to another distro.
