I've disabled the pipewire service and the wireplumber service, but I

the moment where pulse manager keeps crashing. I might try a reinstall
of all pulseaudio packages if I can, and see if that improves things.
I can't uninstall either application as uninstallation of both
applications want to uninstall Gnome Shell which is protected from
uninstalling.
There's that dnf swap command which is supposed to take care of
replacing one package with the other.  It ought to avoid the system
wanting to remove Gnome.

e.g. dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire (or something very much like that).

Considering pulseaudio is being deprecated, maybe you should try seeing
if pipewire works better for you.
I also tried "sudo dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire" and that failed because of a number of pulsaudio-module packages causing conflicts, which I removed each time the command failed, until it got to a conflict on pulseaudio-module-bluetooth which cannot be removed because it wants to remove gnome-shell. Pipewire also has an equivalent module that wants to remove gnome-shell if it is uninstalled, so it looks like both packages have been deliberately designed to not be able to be removed because of gnome-shell.
A remove of gnome-shell has been banned from being allowed to happen.

Steve


I have not tried it in this context, and don't know if it carries risks, but maybe

sudo rpm -e --nodeps pulseaudio

followed by

sudo dnf install pipewire

would avoid that problem?
