    And Debian is supposed to be the stable one (lemmy.ca)

    The last two upgrades have broken my audio setup.

    First the options for Network Server and Network Access in paprefs were greyed out and my sinks disappeared after upgrading to bookworm. I just had to create a link to an existing file and it was working again but, it's weird that it was needed in the first place. Pretty sure it has something to do with the change from pulseaudio to pipewire but I'm not very up to date on that subject and I just want to have my current setup to continue working.

    Then yesterday I just launch a simple apt-get upgrade and after rebooting my sinks disappeared again. The network options in paprefs were still available, but changing them did nothing. I had to create the file ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/10-gsettings.conf and stuff it with "pulse.cmd = [ { cmd = "load-module" args = "module-gsettings" flags = [ "nofail" ] } ]" in order to have my sinks back.

    I know it's not only a Debian thing, as I can see this happening to people on Arch forums, but as Debian is supposed to be the "stable" one, I find it amusing that a simple upgrade can break your sound.

    I think what pisses me off about this is that I have zero idea what this NEWS file is or where to read it.

    It's disgusting to see the Debian dev just flagrantly ignore this. Did they even warn the KeePsssXC devs they were doing this?

    Quote from one of the KeePass developers in the GitHub discussion.

    @Dio9sys no, this was not communicated to us before hand, nor was there a chance to collaborate on an effective solution for both parties. There also seems to be "no going back" per Julian above. So this one way door decision is the new reality I guess. All I can say is, use Flatpak and get away from distro lock in altogether."
