Linux users, how have you set up pipewire on your systems? (alien.top)

Basically the title, I'm still unsure what the best way to do so is and I figured I might as well just ask what other users have done on their systems.

Also what music player do you use?

And if you have set up a dedicated system like an old laptop or raspi for streaming would you say it's worth it?

Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed both use PipeWire by default.

I use Strawberry; it supports every format I could need, supports gapless playback from GStreamer (so no MPD mucking required), and—best by far—Subsonic support. Even gapless playback works in Subsonic!

Strawberry will always have my vote on Linux unless someone builds something in GTK that matches it for features. But I have yet to see anything come close.

That sounds super interesting! Thanks for this, I'll be sure to check both strawberry and nextcloud out!
