its a nightmare to figure out which config files are actually used and which were deprecated at some point. esp when they aren't actually created unless you need to change something. seems so stupid

what's wrong with pulseaudio aside from ubuntu loving up deployment 8 years ago and it being poettering-ware which automatically causes certain spergs to have a breakdown?

sound muted at like 30% volume unless you edit config files, doesn't seem to be working great with chrome flash, volume sliders in apps (music player etc) affecting system volume instead of app volume (also fixed by config file).

wasn't Windows Server Core supposed to let you admin everything using Win32 GUI applications *party like it's 1994* over DCOM *wow such secure* or some poo poo hosted within MMC?

whatever happened to that anyway

rdping to the server and doing whatever you need to do is much faster. it is there and works about half the time though.
