PipeWire, Liquorix, Tinkering, Tired
Date: NaT

Pipewire is awesome. It's so much more stable than the JACK/Pulseaudio bridge I've been using for pro music on my Manjaro system! The transition was easier than I expected too, so I started tinkering to tweak things for even better performance. Enter the Liquorix kernel and me tweaking things all over the place. What's threadirqs? Oooh, it sounds like I ought to have those! I'd better research that. Maybe the Liquorix kernel has them? Hmm, how to download a kernel... Oops, graphical stuff doesn't seem to open properly now. I guess there's more to do than simply installing the kernel itself. This feeling of anxiety descends. I've spent hours on this and now it's worse than before. Damn, now my brain is fried and I understand nothing!

That's where I went wrong. I'm no computer expert, and I get frustrated easily when I have to look at more than a line of code at a time, or when the instructions assume that I understand basic steps and that they won't need to spell everything out. Yet I'm also constantly curious and can't seem to stop myself from going on these little adventures. I guess that's also part of why I'm on Linux. I don't know why I do it to myself, hyperfixation. Now I want to just make music but I can't get my mind off the computer problems I just brought on myself...
