Got my new sound card for my new GNU/Linux machine:

https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-audigy-rx

Amazon did it again.  They offer free shipping at 7-10 days but
also offer expedited shipping, for a hefty fee, at 2-3 days.
However, when selecting free shipping the package usually comes
in 2-3 days anyway.  It hasn't failed for me yet.

But why this card?

Because reseach shows that it is one of the only PCIe sound cards
that Alsa can fully support.  Therefore the choice is a no-brainer.
In addition it is also a damned fucking good sound card.

Preliminary research to determine hardware compatibility with
GNU/Linux is crititcal, yet many (most?) distro lackeys will fail
to do the work.

Then these lackeys will bellyache, moan, and groan when their hardware
does not function properly.  Like overgrown brats they will blame
GNU/Linux for their self-inflicted problems.

Shut the fuck up, brats.  YOU are the only problem.

These fucking lackey brats give GNU/Linux a bad name.
