I have strong opinions on this topic, and found solace in Arch and Fedora.

PipeWire is the future for Linux audio and I am sold on it
22 May 2022 at 12:47 am UTC

Quoting: doctorxYou are not forced to use it? Ubuntu 22.10 will have pw installed by default instead of pa. Others will follow. I am not sold. I will admit my bias, but after working with red hat since late 90s... I would rather not have any more "improvements" from red hat. (Gnome,systemd,ifconfig removal,etc.) I haven't had a problem with pa in years now. They are just m$ of linux. And before you say it, i talked to rh almost daily for several years on various things.
I suppose one can remove pw and use pa? Either way, nothing is perfect, I get other issues with macOS and Windows 10.

Steam - Pillars of Eternity
Nothing I change will play sound from PoE to my HDMI TV
PoE always plays sound out of my laptop speaker

Pipewire never switches audio to my TV via HDMI
I have to do it for every app

Yeah pipewire works great

I had no idea it was coming to Linux, now I really can't wait for it.

I am at 13%

  • VERIFIED: 20 games (4.11%)

  • PLAYABLE: 45 games (9.24%)

  • UNSUPPORTED: 8 games (1.64%)

  • UNKNOWN: 414 games (85.01%)



I suspect many are not supported because they have no controller input. Either way I AM excited to get mine.

Why can't I get a pure AMD Ryzen/Radeon Linux laptop? They always have to throw in NVIDIA.
I'm so bummed. :angry:

Google says Stadia is very much 'alive and well' according to a new interview
19 Jun 2021 at 12:39 am UTC

I just played a full day of Elder Scrolls Online via Stadia (brand new federal holiday). I played Dungeons and PvP/Campaign and had only 1 time noticed a slight lag in video. It was the best day of Stadia I have ever had. I hope its because they are upgrading the network on those servers.

They have lost a lot of credibility, and need to prove themselves. I believe Stadia or GFN game streaming services are the future, and eventually will win over.
