Gee wilikers, Linux reinvented their audio subsystems again, and now I gotta learn how PipeWire works.
At least it's better documented than PulseAudio. Getting JACK and PulseAudio to play well together was frustrating. PipeWire for the most part "just works" (since it's mostly a drop-in replacement).
On my realtime audio synthesis laptop (running Debian), I still just masked everything PipeWire and used JACK, though, because I didn't want to mess with too much of what I know. Yet. Maybe I'll make an effort when pipewire-0.3.65 becomes pipewire-1.0.0.
Still, I definitely missed having a realtime audio computer 🥰
