Absolutely, linux pro-audio developers have been handling these situations for over a decade now with JACK.

Jack is nearly useless without the linux-rt patchset and PREEMPT_RT.

Mainline will have xruns once in a while even with large buffers (like 20ms).

Do run cyclictest from rt-tests for a while if you don't believe this.

Yeah this is also why you see things like Reaper moving to linux and Bitwig debuting on Linux as well as mac and windows. With the future of mac and windows desktop computing up in the air I suggest that linux is the future for pro audio computing rather than apple.
