Hey Len!
Nope, I had to install 3.8 as opposed to 3.2 which comes with Ubuntu. Looks like when you are buying a new laptop what you should do is put on the latest system available and I typically try to stick with LTS.
Interestingly enough, I very rarely go lower 512 frames, which is around 46ms. And for some reason, midi is always precise even on 1024. I did test this and I remember I did work on a system where it made a difference, but not now.
