PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop
(www.phoronix.com)
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.

It's great to see that Pipewire has reached this milestone. Personally I've been using it since 0.3.35 for very basic audio needs and it's been a very smooth transition. After installation I never had to tinker with it anymore. "It just works"^TM^
I had to do some tinkering way back to make my bluetooth earplugs be recognized as an audio device.
Not sure if that is still needed today
No
