Can someone explain to me why the fuck I should pay for installing packages that are available in other distros?...

I’m getting intermittent audio cutouts on my machine. Audio will be playing fine but will then cut out for anywhere from ~0.5-5.0 seconds, then come back fine. What’s interesting is that other sounds may continue to play just fine while it happens. For example, playing a game there will be background noises and music, but...
