Hello, I wanted to ask what bluefin does differently to Ubuntu in relation to sound on laptops. On Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10 the sound on my laptop is awfull, on Bluefin it is great. Are there any changes made to how sounds works on both? Just out of curriosity, I am loving Bluefin so far!

Bluefin (as part of Fedora Silverblue’s ecosystem) defaults to using PipeWire for audio management. PipeWire is a newer multimedia framework that is designed to replace or work alongside PulseAudio and JACK. It can offer improved latency, more robust handling of complex audio setups, and better integration with modern hardware.
Ubuntu, although moving toward PipeWire in newer releases, may still use PulseAudio (especially in the versions you mentioned) or a mixed setup. PulseAudio, while mature, can sometimes have quirks or suboptimal configurations on certain hardware compared to PipeWire.
Also kernel versions are newer on bluefin, this means it may contain updated drivers
