#2Release notes: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/34/ChangeSet
Re: Fedora Linux 34 is officially here
#3I’ve been running F34 for about a month now. The move to pipewire has been pretty much flawless. Multi-monitor Waybar is broken with F34 but that’s not the fault of Fedora.

#4While pipewire still needs a lot of work and some people will see regressions in their workflow, this change is so much better than the pulseaudio disaster.
It already enables things like more reasonable Bluetooth access, BT codec/profile switching, close to real-time audio, etc. With updated pipewire you can run jack applications like guitarix and ardour and they just work. With pipewire updated from copr repositories and iRig I can use guitarix OOTB and the delay is low enough to ignore.
I can also watch movies with audio going over Bluetooth - pulseaudio had 400+ms delay, pipewire is pretty much synced up. (That's on standard codecs, not aptx) It's better than what either windows or Mac can achieve here.

#5just upgrade from Fedora 32 to Fedora 34.
the upgrade really smooth, less than 1 hour.

Cant wait until we say the same about systemd.

#7Would be nice if Fedora improved its GUI package management. It's slow and the interface is pretty bad. I tried every solution I could find over a period of 18 months, but in the end the solution that worked was installing Ubuntu. It was my personal laptop so I was able to give it such a long try; obviously this wouldn't have gone on very long on a work machine.

I don't get this, does Pipewire work on its own? If it's just another audio layer in the way, how can it work better than just PulseAudio alone? (i.e. Pipewire + PulseAudio vs just PulseAudio)

#9Just in time for Red Hat Summit, which starts today.

Pipewire works on its own but has plugins that allow it to mimic the PulseAudio API (as well as others, such as JACK). This makes it compatible with the applications that don't directly integrate with PW.
It's an alternative audio subsystem with a design that is a mix of Pulse and JACK features/architectures. It generally seems to have lower latencies than Pulse but higher latencies than JACK.
