I’ve been running Pipewire in pro audio setup for my son and his band mates since the early days of the project. Granted I did run into some issues at first, but for a long time now it has been solid as a rock. With all of the plugins it is a joy to work with, no more Jack, Jack 2, Alsa, Pulse bridging and configuration nonsense, it all just ‘works’ now.

I would recommend it to anyone as a first option when setting up anything audio related on Linux now.

Last I remember Ethan was neck deep with Faudio project in WINE/Proton. Looks like all of that work may be nearing completion if he is getting back into porting.

Crossover is not really for Linux gaming. Sure it can run games, but it’s mainly focused on providing a stable environment to run commercial software applications. Think of it more as a LTS version of WINE for running adobe suite etc.
