- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

My god, there's so many comments
Now run it on a pi zero
Just had a random occurance of pipewire not allowing me to switch my audio back to my headphones (played some music through speakers before) through the settings. Had to switch it using the terminal but then it worked. Took about 10 minutes to figure out
You know, I don't get this joke. I have been using Linux and BSD since 2019, and the only incident I ever had was with sndio(7), and that was because I decided to switch to the -current branch of OpenBSD without heeding the warnings.
Apart from that, whether I was using ALSA, PulseAudio, PipeWire, JACK, or OSS (on FreeBSD), I always had a perfect experience.
The joke is they can't hear them because their audio broke. You're overthinking it. Lol.
No, that bit's funny. I mean the running joke about Linux audio being bad.

what is Pipeware? only install other thing, Linux is rich of alternatives (you don't have to cry for convincing to MS/Apple)
