From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Now the big question is if the update fixes this nasty little bug where no matter what, the audio is muted on login until you mute and unmute. that I had to add a dirty little shell script on startup to fix:

#!/bin/bash
pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle
pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle

I was experiencing it with 1.2.3 on Debian Trixie, though I've heard of Arch users experiencing it. I'm updating to 1.2.4 right now.
