One possible workaround for Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Ubuntu is using a custom kernel. In case of Debian, the audio script will automatically install it for you. Note that not all issues can be solved with a custom kernel, as the rest of the software on the system is still old.
Maybe even update the Recommended distros with Mint (in a few weeks). The docs could also highlight beginners distros for those using the project as their first foray into Linux.
