From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thank you, I added the command to my Linux Journal,

Your post motivated me to do some more trials and it ended up that my greetd greeter was locking up the audio sink.

So I made sure to add a command after the greeter exits killall -u greeter and the sink finally passed correctly to the logged in user just fine after that.

In reviewing the arch wiki some more too I've installed wire plumber session manager for pipewire, I am still a little confused about it's function and relation to pipewire but maybe that has helped too?

Cheers :)
