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.

This piece of software seems so old and stable and it just reached V1.0... it's just a number but it feels odd

Pipewire is amazing, especially when used to make music with it!

Must be time for a new Linux audio system. The pipewire-pulseaudio-ALSA stack of compatibility layers is old hat already.

improved resume from suspend in ALSA

YES! Hopefully this means no more needing to restart the pipewire service after resume.
