    Pipewire works fine on my Intel 5960x, Intel N3700, Intel 9900k, Intel 9700, AMD 4800HS and even my Intel ES Erying system. No pops or crackles from any inputs or outputs.

    I’ve not tried with a dedicated sound card, just the onboard on all these systems.

    Running KDE on one system along with Hyprland on another two with the remainder as headless systems.

    You sure this issue isn’t somehow related to your hardware or something else?

    Creating a browser from scratch is a monumental task, ladybird is such a project which has been in progress since ~2022, and will probably take another couple before it’s at beta. Optimistic release is 2028, or ~6 years of development.

    I’ve moved to schizofox (NixOS) but there are plenty of other forks available which remove telemetry and other default behaviours from Firefox.

    Chromium forks are another alternative however due to chromiums dominance in the browser space I’m reluctant to shoutout any forks.

    Purely just send.

    You ain’t gonna learn to swim in the wading pool, take a leap and break something.

    It’s like any job - you can be talked to about x, y or z until the cows come home but until you stub your toe on a specific issue it’s mostly just fluff.

    I’ve committed unencrypted secrets to codeberg, deleted boot partitions without rebuilding (nixos), tested most Linux distros until I got comfortable.

    Dumb mistakes are bound to happen (I feel mostly to me) but you don’t learn without seeing the repercussions. Linux isn’t scary - closed source crapware is; no matter how “user friendly” it’s made out to be.
