Take a moment to thank leonard Potter, who despite death threats from ignorant "fanboys" and incessant mockery from people who never wrote a line of non-bash code has made immense contributions to Linux being usable on desktop. If someday Linux does end up being usable by the average Joe, Mr potter would have had a huge role to play in it. Let's trmenytgat pipewire stands on the shoulder of giants and it replaces an excellent system (which sadlt rarely happens in Linux space)

Did you ever used Pulseaudio. Some years ago sound was not working at all, the only way to make it work was to kill pulseaudiod and stick with ALSA. Now it started working and is being replaced. No comment.

Pulse was a long time ago. I think it was a bad idea to not cover low latency, but it's not Lennart's fault if distros shipped it too soon. It works fine now, and was a lot nicer than raw ALSA at the time. But Pipewire is definitely an upgrade.
