Talk:PipeWire

Dear John3-16, This edit is being reverted because Pipewire user service is the recommended method going forward and the pipewire-launcher will be removed at some point. When a recommended method is available, listing them on par with bespoke methods will confuse new users. We can always list such methods under a heading like Custom configuration. Our installation page was a perfect example for listing a lot of options, but frustrating for new users. Thanks for you contributions to Wiki and it is highly appreciated and i hope you understand and agree with the reasoning for this revert. -Prabuanand (talk) 03:49, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

Agreed that Pipewire user service is the recommended method; and that the pipewire-launcher method is expected to be sunsetted; this was respected in my edit. The Note was preserved which stated that the second option would be deprecated. My impression is that enough readers may not stop and realize that these are mutually exclusive methods, if they implement the passages in this guide one after another in a rush.

I concur with you too that other, bespoke methods would be superfluous on the wiki; their existence was only being acknowledged in the edit's Summary. Thank you for your extensive wiki help also; please continue!
