Description

Linux desktops and audio setups can route audio and video streams through PipeWire with low latency. It supports desktop audio, screen capture, Bluetooth audio, professional audio workflows, and compatibility with PulseAudio or JACK-style clients.

It is a core background service. Changing PipeWire configuration can affect microphones, speakers, screen sharing, and app audio, so keep rollback steps for audio-critical systems.

How to run
