Linux distros would be best off lifting as much as possible from the Android Open Source Project, i.e. a professional and streamlined Linux-based system that actually works and isn't just a mishmash of incompatible, poorly designed hobbyist trash.

The year of the Linux desktop never arrived but most of the world has Linux sitting in our palms. Let's build on that instead of the dead ends of Debian, Slackware, etc.

Hasn't Android audio always struggled with input latency?

I use several audio apps on Android, on a mid-low phone. The most intensive use comes from Cubase - Audio and synths, mixer, inputs and outputs, midi/ phone input program. After 30 years on Atari then windows I've had my ups and downs with the program, but I can easily say that my android version is a1 solid, connected to/ from my hardware synths

wow. no. debian is the opposite of a dead end. now, ubuntu and lubuntu and xubuntu = i agree. android, however, is garbage. - it most certainly is not consistent across devices and editions - having to do phone-like-stuff on a desktop/laptop is painful - i hate Android. It's settings bother me the most. there is ZERO organization here! There are DARK patterns galore, it's built to dissuade you from doing anything serious.

I can only take your comment as either a joke, or you literally only use a phone/tablet in life.

news flash: Android audio is ALSA at it's core. Additionally: native Android audio is ultra-high-latency... completely unacceptable for pro-audio
