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.

TIL pipewire added a working version of
module-echo-cancel
.Been waiting for that for such a long time, how long has it been that they added it?
I use PipeWire and EasyEffects on Fedora 35, and there are lots of sound glitches that I never would hear back in the Pulse Audio days. I hope they can fix this and the delays I get.
Hoping the core dump with MPD issue is fixed in this release
PipeWire is really killing it. It is already fantastic and it keeps getting better.
One tool that I would really like to see though is something to record all audio streams on the system. This would probably be a third-party tool but I often want to record a video conference or something. It is easy to record my mic, and fairly easy to record the conference application (depending on how many streams they use for external participants). However doing both and syncing them is quite difficult. I would love something that can dump every stream as a separate synced track in a file then I can sort everything out in post.
Indeed! I switched from PulseAudio to PipeWire in 2020 and never needed to look back.
