From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah for the most part it is fine, it's just given me some weird problems I haven't had before, not sure if windows is to blame or the computer itself. For some reason whenever I am playing a game on steam and also in a voice call on discord the game audio will get cut out and/or distorted a lot of the time. The overall complaints are of course being somewhat bloated and morals.
That is discord being sucky. Have had that problem a lot with various headphones, only thing that helped for me was using another software to manage things.
As for your actual question, my father has worked as a mechanical engineer for a few decades (recently retired) and after the major players did switch to only windows (they used unix in earlier days) he always had a dualboot system at home just for CAD work.
Yeah that's a little what i suspected, it's worked fine on win 10 with the exact same setup thoughm What other software did you find that worked? And was something to replace discord or just help with audio mixing?
For the CAD, that's pretty much what I expected and definitely seems to be the overall conclusion.
I use Sonar from Steelseries since I have one of their headsets. It does work for other headsets too, afaik it’s windows only though.
Any audiochannel mixing software that has an input (and output for microphone) should work. The main thing is to not let discord touch the device directly basically.
I had just been searching around and messing with stuff and narrowed it down to only having problems when in a discord call and connected to my headphones with Bluetooth, but not when the same device was in wired mode. I tried a different audio channel mixer that I found for free after a quick search, and now it works! Thanks!

Nah, it is not the bloat.
Windows sucks. Linux is much better. Keep using Linux and you'll see it.
