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.

First Lemmy post for me!

I was going to post on /Linuxquestions but I thought I would try here first.

I have an imac2011 which I ran Ubuntu 23.04, Kubuntu and Ubuntu Cinnamon. I discovered Easy Effects audio app which allowed me to download profiles to enhance the audio from the system.

I recently decided to try OpenCoreLegacyParcher and installed a newer version of macos, which is currently running on my system and the audio quaility is just breath taking compared to Linux.

Is there anyway I can get closer to audio from macos on Linux? I'm considering going back to Linux soon but I think i'll miss how good the audio is :(

I learned that PopOs runs best on iMac with least amount of problems, I don't know if that will fix audio but you can always download PopOs on a flash drive and boot to it to try out without installing it on drive.

Thats a good idea, I suppose I could use a live Linux boot to play around with the EQ settings
