A comment on PipeWire and fixing the Linux Video Capture stack.

I had to read the blog on lynx due to light grey text on white. I wish people will realize many people will have a hard time with that coloured text.

Well a bit concerning in a way. Does this change require GNOME and/or Wayland ? The way I read it it seems so, but little detail there.

I wonder because I use fvwm2 as opposed to Desktops, which I really do not like at all.

No need to go that far, this site supports reader mode.

PipeWire is not bound to Wayland or a specific desktop environment, it runs (mostly) fine under GNOME, KDE Plasma as well as sway. The desktop interfacing is done via flatpaks xdg-desktop-portal, as long as your desktop implements that you should be fine.
