I agree with you, but also think for a linux experience on a device that wasn’t meant for it, it’s par for the course. Of the above, the only critical flaw would be the camera not working, the rest is manageable.

It’s been a while, but updating a DELL laptop ended up with flacky sound that wouldn’t work for video calls, and the video card drivers sometimes crapping the bed and bringing the system down with it.

Sometimes these issues can be fixed by adjusting process priorities. Try giving Pulseaudio a higher priority.

Giving pulseaudio a higher priority to avoid it bringing the system down... ?

No... if videoconferencing software runs slow, with choppy audio and low framerates, try prioritizing the sound daemon and whatever videoconferencing software you use so that the scheduler makes sure those processes run in a timely manner.
