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.

apparently renoise doesn't allow values less than 5ms... which also seems to work just fine, huh.
ASIO doesn't seem to want to work, and it doesn't do anything for me anyway, I've been more than kontent with the DirectSound (I have no idea what wine 9/10/11 does with it under the hood, plays fine through pipewire & my virtual devices) - and renoise isn't really a traditional daw anyway, it can record instruments for sure, but it's more of a old-skool tracker with vst/vsti and daw-like automation.
edit: "kontent".. my kde-isms peaking through. heh.
edit2: ffwiw: when I last used renoise on this same machine on win10, I absolutely could not have set the latency below 20ms, even a single instrument of any kind would immediately crackle.
I imagine some vsts do not play nice with low latency but I use low latency piano vsts (kontakt, Ravenscroft 275)
In pipewire I had to use Jack to lower the latency as pulse and alsa were too laggy for playing instruments
