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.

So, here's my final update on this issue, and a possible solution/workaround: As the problem is due to crappy audio latency when using Wine, a way to avoid it is by giving it higher priority. If anyone has the issue, you can try using Feral's gamemode. Launch your problematic app via gamemoderun, and it will decrease stuttering very significantly. If the game is really intense on CPU or you have other stuff getting it busy, it will still stutter, but it's way less frequent on the game I'm currently playing (Outer Worlds), which is not very resource intensive. I'll let you know once I try harder games.
