@m0xee@social.librem.one iska's laziness strikes again, I really wanted to do it under 7. Actual gentoo install was surprisingly smooth

Now how do make sound work on here?
:catlookinside: it's okay for the server, but I'm going to install this to desktop and thinkpad...

If I were you, I won't be putting that… thing on a server. Or anywhere. Ever 😆
But this is your hardware.
I've never had any issues with sound — just make sure the module for your hardware gets built with the kernel 🤷
But was using it long before PulseAudio and friends became a thing. In fact, ALSA was still something relatively new at the time 👴

@iska
With pipewire it might be more complex, but I don't see why you should use it at all when you can build all your software without it — just use plain ALSA and apulse for Firefox if you want microphone input.

I won't be putting that thing anywhere

then what else :geblobcatshrug:
Debian sid is holding my system hostage, arch always breaks.. I just knew compilation time isn't a problem with my hardware.
My thinkpad also needs a "free" distro, limiting my choice there to guix, gentoo or reinstalling trisquel...

just use plain ALSA and apulse for Firefox if you want microphone input.

We're not in 2004
I noticed that alsa does actually work. And then noticed, for 3 years I couldn't figure out gentoo pipewire because I didn't set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR....
