The Manjaro team and its community are very competent. I contribute to the project financially - even if only a little - and with the forums, because I believe in the quality of it. More people should do the same.
I really don’t know why “pipewire” was adopted without Manjaro (KDE) being ready to receive it. I’m having a lot of problems with the audio.
The Manjaro Team and the community as a whole (including friends like @oberon @philm @Manjaro-Team ) are very participative and helpful.
I don’t know what reasons they had for making that decision. It would also be nice to hear them.
I have used Manjaro KDE for many years and I think it is too precipitous to abandon the project after so many years of success and due to the qualities and potential of it. It is important to note that Manjaro is a rolling release and by definition we are subject to things like that. It is a choice for those who use it. However, it should be noted that we are not dealing with a bleeding edge distro.
As I said, “pipewire” seems to be the standard for Manjaro now. I don’t bother to use it like I’m already doing, I just want to know how things work on my Manjaro KDE the way we all like it.
Thanks! =D
NOTE: Decisions like adopting “BTRFS” and automatic snapshots out of the box (like Garuda Linux https://garudalinux.org/ ) would be pretty cool stuff to Manjaro that is a rolling release. But, this is another conversation, for another time and for the right people.
