XP was inevitably not very stable, but I love it's sound stack.

What was unique about it? (genuinely curious, I'm coming from the Linux side of the pond)

  • Direct access to the sound hardware makes possible using huge discretization value, that's why Windows XP along with Mac the only OS able to produce a typical pop album.

    If you are doing music on your Linux PC, I would like to know your best ping from some MIDI instrument to the headphones. Last time I tried to do that I could not make it faster that 20ms but it was in 2010. So, I do not use Linux for any multimedia.
