What are you talking about? This is Arch linux, you have to go to the wiki page for everything, including the installation, LUKS, raid, Xorg or Wayland, etc… >>> I'm not even sure why pipewire exists, another layer on top of the hot >>> mess that is Linux audio. I mean, the reasoning of why pipewire was created, and what it implemented, etc. have been *widely* publicized in the past several years - but somehow it seems that will not stop you from having hard unfounded opinions. -- damjan
