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.

Totally agree that a lot of them are poor implementations. Or just have a terrible UX such that it's almost guaranteed that a layperson is going to set it up badly and have a degraded experience that they've convinced themselves is good. Obviously the "correct" thing to do is check every box for "enhancements", right?
Gaming peripheral software supplied by the OEM being bad is probably the least surprising thing I'm likely to read all day.
As for stereo sounding better, I think in the purest sense that's always going to be true. Any kind of processing is going to alter the audio to some degree away from the original "intent". A pure triangle wave from a NES isn't going to be a pure triangle wave after it goes through any HRTF, good, bad, or otherwise. If you want your sound to be clean then yes, avoid extra processing at all costs.
