I understood you and had the same issue. I solved it by using an Apple USBC to mini jack audio device instead of onboard. Not ideal. Not sure if it’s still a problem though.

Edit. My mistake I had the problem with Pulse not Pipewire.

I paid about $100 less to have my workstation shipped with Ubuntu instead of Windows 10 Pro 3 years ago. United States.

In this case the web server will temporarily exceed 1GB RAM and crash. It’s usually hovering around 700MB. I configured 4GB swap but I haven’t seen it use more than 1.5GB. I honestly doubt they would even have a way to know, but thanks for the warning.

Swap is super helpful if you’re running a web server on a 1GB RAM 2 CPU Linode instance!!
