Just giggled as my last meme mentioned trouble with displays and appropriately, a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!” (And charmingly, many were thoughts of things to check, other distros etc. It’s a very kind community, though that may also be the fediverse.)
Interesting. I have a Bluetooth headset, but I haven’t used it in months. I may give it a try next week and see if I can make myself late for a meeting I don’t want to attend.
I try not to wait for a patch on Linux, because many packages move at the speed of volunteerism. Although, I find that Microsoft generally moves at a speed of “well fuck me”, which is…different, at least.
That doesn’t mean I’m stuck waiting, though. I’ve generally been able to roll back to a version before the bug.
Searching for “libwireplumber mic crash” brings up a number of solution discussions across a surprising number of OSes.
As you said, it seems widespread!
If you share your OS versions, someone here may be able to help with your specific path to relief.
The arbitrary weeks and months thing is good feedback. Thank you. I often recommend Linux Mint, and I think people like me need to amplify the message “don’t wait, roll back” for new Linux adopters.
