Has the Fedora Workstation Working Group made any recommendations
around this? Does that group feel that WirePlumber is mature enough to
replace the existing session manager?
With my WG hat on, we've elected to trust Wim on this and we're
generally excited to see how this goes in F35. He had brought up
WirePlumber when we originally did the PipeWire change last cycle and
told us then that he was planning to have it ready for F35. So from
that perspective, we're okay with it.
Taking my WG hat off, I've been testing it for about as long as it's
existed in the repositories in Rawhide and it's been pretty good thus
far. The user experience is no worse than before, as far as I can
tell, and having the programmability and flexibility for applications
to leverage opens the doors for all kinds of interesting use-cases. My
understanding is that it's also a prerequisite for eventually doing
similar stuff for video sources that we're doing with audio sources
today too.
