PulseAudio is dead and buried, say hello to the new king of loud penguins, Pipewire!

If you just upgraded to Bookworm and were using Pulse, you're now already on Pipewire through pipewire-pulse, and most likely you haven't really noticed. THIS is the kind of progress I like - do your goddamned job behind the scenario without anyone ever being aware of your existence! Bravo, Pipewire, you've achieved in a few years what the Pulse folks took almost half a decade to achieve.


Pipewire is even better than you think - Basically, Pipewire is a stream router. It can stream any type of content, video, audio, text, pr0n, anime, emulation, input devices, sensory devices et cetera... All it does is keep track of which sources go to which sinks.

And yes, the sink may be anything from a screen to a keyboard to a network interface. Pipewire is simply amazing, especially for low latency communication. Windows and Mac ain't got nuthin on the potential of this baby...

5) Stuff like Lutris overcomplicates things - I've seen stuff so overengineered that it would be almost like installing Docker to run games, seriously.


Welcome to the future where each legacy game will be run in a Linux VM with bare minimals to get Wine running. It's only 300-400 MB overhead for a game, not even enough to fill a single CD ROM. All because Microsoft in their infinite wisdom thought forever binary compatibility is the way things should work. :D

Recently started a re-run of the Ys Series.

I've done Ys Origins, I & II, Felghana and Celceta so far. Next up, Ys 6, 7 and 8. Unfortunately 5 is not remade. I am gearing up towards Ys IX... :)

And no, I'm not gamer enough for Nightmare, only did it on Origins and that was painful enough.

I'm not sure that people will switch over that quickly, Wayland is still extremely immature (despite being around for over 15 years at this point).


No, it is at the point where distros are basically dropping preinstalled xorg packages. You are simply not keeping up with the (extremely rapid) pace right now:

This way they can see how many are still stuck on X11 and will install the package from the servers. For some it will be a pure WM issue (You can pry Awesome from my dead fingers!) and for some it will be an actual Wayland issue.
