Nice okay, alright so just wondering what distro you running with and what hardware do you have?

We can break it down from there to see if you are being affected or not.

Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I understand it’s a system service and something that people wouldn’t really notice if it’s been updated or maybe their distro has recently migrated over from pulse audio. Hell maybe even unknowingly following some random guide while trying to do something or fix something. All that we know from OP is that they are asking how to tell if they are affected.

My question was as basic and as generic as it could be. Has your battery life been quite poor as of late? As in have you had to plug in your system more throughout the day?

Regardless of technical experience or aptitude most people would notice a change in the norm of using something they use daily. If they don’t, there wouldn’t be any questions and it would be the normal day to day.

Now my thought process was to see what they said, yes or no for the battery life. And then to get more info to put together something they could follow and either confirm impact from the bug or not.

Hey not a problem dino, I get it your post is quite helpful.

Now jog my memory, how did you help the person asking if they’re affected by this bug or not?

The 13 others that have a problem with my question also chose to not offer anything useful for ops question.

Has your battery life been about half of what it used to be after installing pipe wire?

[Yes] [No]

Not OP, but for a while I tried using Ubuntu and Mint but kept on having random issues with my printer/scanner combo (Brother) and a couple of other problems that I don’t remember before I just gave up and switched over to pop.

Been using it as my daily driver for a couple of years now and even the one time I did have something go sideways I was helped by people on the Telegram channel.

On a side note there have been a couple of ranking lists released on YouTube and one of them noted that the desktop is a bit outdated but I really like the tiling window manager that pop has. Sure it eats shit sometimes but as of recently I haven’t had to think about it at all. I’m excited to see the new desktop that they are currently developing as well.

The thing is I believe that statement is a bit misunderstood.

Calculators were already becoming pocket sized back in the day, but using it to calculate things if you don’t know how to use it is where the actual problem is.

Hence the reasoning to learn how to math vs only having the device.

Lol it’s simple just watch for a shit ton of traffic from single ip addresses.

Nice, I’m sure that adding a theming system would be do able. What type of interface do you think would work better than what it currently has?

Do you have any examples of things they could try or implement?

I’ve been daily driving pop for about 3 years now on my desktop built with components from almost 6 years ago. Much smoother of an experience than Ubuntu (yes pop is derived from Ubuntu) and tiers above the rest.
