appimaged VS pipewire

I can't speak for others but I use appimaged still, which monitors the ~/.local/bin directory and automatically adds the shortcut to my application menu in Ubuntu-Mate.

I found out that there is a daemon for it ([appimaged](https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged)) but it doesn´t seem to be supported anymore. The site points to an [alternative codebase](https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage) but it is not clear (at least to me) if it is stable or not.

Hi u/tnc68, I use AppImageLauncher on Ubuntu to handle this automatically as it will handle the installation of new updates and preserve/generate desktop app icons for each update. Some users may prefer appimaged (as u/ProgsRS mentioned), but I currently do not use it.

There seem to be more than one solution to integrate AppImage with the desktop and still somehow a work in progress. The original version of appimaged is deprecated for a newer version written in go. There is also AppImageLauncher, which is not entirely the same as appimaged, but maybe does what you need.

If you don't know what PipeWire is (I didn't), it's an audio-video handler - it replaces things like PulseAudio.

Damn, your "audio server" seems to disagree with you.

PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:

I installed and configured pipewire according to the instructions from the Debian website. And let me tell you, it solved all my problems. The sound quality is good enough for practice, latency is very low. Currently, I just mute my guitar in YS, turn on ToneLib, adjust the volume on the system mixer, and play.
