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.

As someone who has pulse just the way they want it, what will this mean for me?

Is it a forced change on a current install?

Is there an equivalent to PulseEffects for PipeWire?

Actually, PulseEffects has been renamed into EasyEffects and is PipeWire only now

Well the PulseEffects version is still alive and well in Ubuntu's repos and it will be for a while.

There's Easyeffects. I don't know if it is equivalent but it certainly has more features than I could ever hope to be able to use.

There's a compability layer, generally called pipewire-pulse. I think it's not a one-for-one copy, but it works great for desktop applications that expect pulse.

Some things that previously were pulseaudio modules, like rtp and raop (airplay), have been reimplemented as native pipewire modules, I believe.

More complicated setups I can't personally speak to, but since pipewire is also catered towards professional audio workflows (as opposed to just desktop audio), you should at least be able to replicate what you have now.

And, as others have already pointed out, pulseeffects has been long dead, and now lives on as easyeffects.

PulseEffects is still working fine for me is why I was asking. Been using it for the past year after making the switch.

I find Easy effects is much more feature rich easier to import APO files and such
