oh no the audio incompatability gods have been summoned! is pipewire any better? my sparse research has been inconclusive to date...

Think most of my installs for like... the past couple years now? have primarily used pipewire. That honestly was more down to it just starting to ship with more distros out of the box, tbh, rather than a specific choice, but can't say I have any complaints. (Which isn't true for jack ;__;)
Also haven't been doing as much audio/music stuff in that time period, so grain of salt, but it has felt more dependable than how I remember jack2 being... Ultimately I'd suggest having as few components as possible, whatever they are. (n.b, If you find yourself installing a package called "pipewire-jack", take a step back and reflect haha.)
disclaimer: I am in no sense a pro or expert
pulled the trigger on an old thinkpad yesterday. About to dive into setting up a linux-based audio production computer.
