I have a behringer UMC202HD. I think I got it over the focus rite because something was better... either the preamp or the audio quality being 192 Hz. of course, this is a couple years ago, so you will have to do your own research and see what specs have changed or are important to you.
I don't do any audio recording either, really. basically just have a guitar going into a series of vsts and modelers to be able to play with a more saturated sound at indoor volumes.
using it with Windows 10 was no problem and the latency is low for live monitoring. I couldn't get it to work with an acceptable latency using Debian and inadvertently messed up the kernel trying to install some software version that could work better with whatever Linux audio system there was, I forget if it was pulse or whatever.
edit: of course, if you're just looking to record a sax, that is irrelevant.
Yeah Pulse sucks, it was written by the same mouthbreather that wrote systemd. Thankfully there is a few replacements now, but documentation is sparse.
I also plan to just use linux however I'll probably test the setup on windows / mac to see if there are any differences. I just want a pro intro level setup so I can record myself to send to friends / family and possibly to make a channel for the pressure / opportunity it would create to improve myself, and to record myself so I can hear my own self as a full lot and identify improvement points / avenues etc.
