This just sounds like a bad idea, a solution in search of a problem. Sure, sudo is a setuid binary, but it’s a fairly simple program, and at some point, you have to trust the code. It’s also a very fundamental piece of the system that you want to always work, even (especially!) when other things get borked. The brief description of run0 already has too many potential points of failure.

Nah, Linux is confusing because it’s software. I have a well-paying job in large part because Windows and macOS are confusing as hell, too.

I’m not the only one! It doesn’t work with my sound bar, and the developers think that editing 3 (!) obscure config files is an acceptable workaround.

There’s a lot of love for it here, so I guess my experience isn’t typical. I updated to Ubuntu Lunar Lobster on my home media machine, which comes with PipeWire by default, and it’s utter removed. The vocals and some instruments in my music tracks only play nearly inaudibly from the center channel of my 5.1 surround system. It’s unlistenable, even with the center volume boosted.

Seriously, what am I missing? How can it do audio that poorly?
