From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Where are those alternatives? I have not seen anything that is Baustoff convincing yet...
It is not a project owned by redhat... the lead guy not even works there anymore. So the more interesting question is: What happens if Microsoft closes down the project? The answer: It will be forked.
Which part(s) of systemd is pipewire meant to replace?
PulseAudio != systemd
Pulseaudio isn't part of systemd.
@t0m5k1 @sickday You clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
To my knowledge, pipewire was never meant to replace any part of systemd. I don't think systemd does anything related to audio either. OP was claiming otherwise so I asked for clarification.
@sickday @TCB13 @t0m5k1 @hunger Pulseaudio is written by Poettering but it isn’t and never has been part of systemd, so yeah, I don’t know why somebody brings it up in systemd discussion.
