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?

@geerlingguy @ActionRetro @thisdoesnotcomp @mrmacintosh @mac84tv @branchus "best ever" is pretty subjective, but for me, I'd say they're:

The PowerBook Duo 2300c,
the 12" PowerBook G4,
the iBook G3 "Snow" model,
the original MacBook, circa 2008-ish,
and the M2 Pro MacBook Pro, if you install Asahi Linux on it.

(actually tbh, all of these become significantly better if you install Linux of some sort on them, but maybe that's just cuz I'm not a huge fan of macOS)

Apple abandoned FireWire last year. I'm bringing it back with this new Raspberry Pi HAT, a prototype of the 'Firehat' by some creative individuals in the MiniDV community. See the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKeW45OL-g

Insanity level: ✅ just right

Coreforge is at it again, repurposing an old AMD B350 motherboard (sans CPU) as a Raspberry Pi PCIe breakout board: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/809

@ShaulaEvans legit just curious, would you say it's okay to make fun of Trump's orangeness, or at least mention it in unflattering nicknames for him like "President Annoying Orange" or something?

@art I pronounce "data" sort of like how I pronounce "GIF" - the way in which I pronounce both words ;)
