## What it is
A curated guide to PipeWire, the Linux multimedia pipeline server, covering installation, tools, audio production software, and related resources. It is a documentation/awesome-list style repository rather than software itself.

## Use cases
- learn how to set up pipewire on linux
- replace pulseaudio with pipewire
- find low-latency audio tools for linux
- set up a daw on linux with pipewire
- configure obs studio screen capture with pipewire
- understand pipewire vs jack vs pulseaudio
- install pipewire on debian or ubuntu

## When to choose
- you are a Linux user or admin setting up or learning PipeWire
- you want a curated list of Linux audio production tools and plugins
- you need installation instructions across major distros

## When to avoid
- you need PipeWire software itself or its source code
- you need audio tooling for macOS or Windows
- you need an actively maintained codebase rather than documentation

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: audio-processing, video-processing, developer-tools, documentation
