DAW question for Slackware 15.1: Pipewire or JACK Audio?

I bought a new laptop to do some more serious work on, and while I was setting up the audio, installing JACK Audio Server and friends, I wondered what would be the proper path forward for a Slackware DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) when Slackware 15.1 is released with all the improvements over the 15.0 stable release. Should I stick with JACK or look into Pipewire to get rid of the Jack server?

Like a few of you pointed out, NetBSD* became 33 years old yesterday.

In unrelated news, ow, my back...

* As in, our version control repository. The first commit was made on 21 March 1993.

The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.
