OK, I love Linux and open source…

BUT!

Why the flipping hell do I have to follow some half-assed, 'oh it's so easy,' tutorials just to get a real-time kernel? Those idiots that make those tutorials always have half of the dependencies installed and DON'T FUCKING TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE!

I just want a low latency system to record audio with. It never has to see the internet.

Instead, 'for my safety,' fuckers won't just precompile shit. I have to search for 30min for an odd error!

On this vain, I did finally find this.

@souldessin doesn't Ubuntu Studio also use a low latency kernel? 🤔

@RyuKurisu that is the problem, it is just the low latency kernel. You can get sub 10-12ms delay, but not the sub 5ms that Linux is actually capable of.

The good news is that the RealTimePI instance did work. I just need to lock the CPU frequency and I'll finally have low latency without xruns.
