@akash07k Yep, the latency is surprisingly low.

@pixelate Oh, that's nice.
I will try mate manager then.
Have some spare machines around.
I have also read somewhere that Virt manager on Linux doesn't have any sort of audio latency problem if we compare it to VMWare workstation alike on Windows. Is it right?

@akash07k If you're keen, yes. Normal computing works well. Browsing, email with Thunderbird, writing with text editors and such. I'd still recommend the Mate desktop for new users. We've even got Audiogame Manager, which installs Windows games for you and sets them up and such.

@pixelate
I actually last tried Fedora or any Linux back in 2014. I'm sure that a lot of changed and made more accessible in these 12 years.
Any idea how the current state is?
Can Fedora or any other Linux distro be used as a reliable system if we are keen to switch from Windows to Linux?
