From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I switched to pipewire about a year ago. There was some small problems in the beginning. Today I don't run into any problems or bugs at all.

Last year, my laptop computer went silent after installing Fedora 35 with Pipewire.

I'm very happy to see how much Pipewire has grown!

All my hair loss from fighting with pulse audio was all for naught. Fedora made the switch in FW34.
