Say hello to Mr Killfile…

That’s the best thing bluetooth audio can do for you. Much better than anything it does to music.

You’re an idiot who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Pipewire isn’t really up for production (and by far not a decade old) and whoever decided to activate it by default might have had easy desktop use and switching to BT or mobile audio trash in mind. If it comes to latency, low complexity or reliability, pipewire is terrible. It also doesn’t add anything useful that jack could not do, it only adds complexity where it’s not needed.
PW is nice, if you’re a newbie and want all your crappy BT shit to connect from the desktop so you can watch five tik-tok vids at the same time using you shiny “soundbar” (and have your voice comm blasting the neighbourhood), but it’s a mess if you want to use realtime audio with more than two ports, MIDI and a device chain for recording or playback.

Don’t matter replying, “Qwel”, I put you in my special place for trolling, abusive children who do not contibute to civilization - the killfile.

I’ve been using “Linux audio”, namely jack, Ardour, freewheeling, hydrogen e.a. for more than a decade. But you can take your shiny pipewire and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

You mean all three apps that support waylamd are working? Wow. At the same time?

I thought it was a self-referring acronym and stood for K Desktop Environment? Anyway it was a reference to CDE, the Common Desktop Environment of SUN, HP and a couple of other commercial Unices.

No arguments, just downvotes… I almost suspect some participants do not even understand what might be wrong with “you are sudo”? I also bet you don’t have the right idea what the difference between effective UIDs might be depending if you’re using “su”, “su -i” , "su - " sudo or “sudo su”. The differences are not exactly subtile and I dare to say admins on unixoids who don’t know them are basically talking heads without an idea what they’re actually talking about.

Your terminal at boot. That would be TECTONIX or VT100 when your good old VAX has made a boo-boo once more? But I wouldn’t know where to fill any Chinese contact spray (“sudo su”, “Fu Manchu”…) in there. Or do you by any means mean your .bashrc? You know, before sucessfully shooting your own foot you’d need how to load and unlock.

OMG. There’s literally more ignorance and bullshit than words in that sentence. It is so wrong that not even the opposite is true. I hope that was sarcasm - in which case I draw my hat because it would be a true peace of art.
Before voting me down, be sure to

man environ

• and be sure you’ve understood at least what the environment variables do. If that is too hard for you, at least find out what the difference between a binary and a UID might be.

You’ve got to be a damn idiot jumping over his own shadow to get that done. How would you even do that? Running

chown -R root.root

over directories or mount points? Deleting files in /dev or /run and recreating them using “touch” without looking up ownerships before? I wrote “touch” because anyone proceeding to “mknod” would at least have read some man pages. BTW, you’d need su for that rather than sudo.

This wouldn’t do anything. Sudo is white magick while su is the devil’s work, so they cancel out each other. I know, because I’ve read Harry Potter, seen “War Games” and am a social net Linux expert.

Some people think before they type. They also do not think mindlessly typing “sudo” before every fucking line in bash is a valid substitute for knowing what they do. Many of them have been doing so for decades on HPUX, Solaris, BSDs and IRIX on their own and other people’s/companies machines, not just on their single bedroom machine.

Sure. But MInt doesn’t do dist-.upgrade at all. Or it didn’t when I tried some years ago. IDK what the situation is now, but then Mint’s FAQ said you’d have to do a fresh install.

You should be proud of yourself. I’ve never seen dist-upgrade go wrong since woody - and I’ve upgraded quite a few machines. Did you ever bother reading the release notes for a new major version?

Debian has been doing so since forever without breaking. I tried Mint when it was the latest shit on a new laptop and was quite fond of it. Until it was time to update. I chose to upgrade - to plain, old Debian that had been running on my servers, workstations and PCs since 2002 and still does. How a Debian-derived distro could fuck up the one thing that makes Deian stand out -the nearly unbreakable packet management system- still is beyond my understanding.

rm -rf is always right. No matter where. Supposed, of course, you are root.

No discussion. I am root! I am always right!

As a mint Enlightenment user I can only sneer at these plebes.

Technically, you’re still downloading it, even if your package manager does it for you. And, tbh, even on Debian stable it needs some user action (including a visit to Mozilla’s site) to get an actual version of Firefox and rolling upgrades installed instead of the LTS version.
