So Fernando Lopez and other important Linux audio folks are using a
buggy distro?

Fedora isn't to my taste, that's why I'm not using it, but I doubt that
such an important distro should be that bad. When I run it in VBox
several times, I never have seen issues.

Another important Linux audio developer, Robin, likely that he's using
Debain, regarding to his work, does recommend this at LAU and nobody
disagreed?
