Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I figured this out for Debian Dog. You need to create some override files to get rid of the gratuitous "!=root" that the pipewire developers have added in their setup files and are supposed to use their internal tool (which forces you to use nano), so I did and changed "!=root" to "!=werewolf".

systemctl --user --full edit pipewire.service 
systemctl --user --full edit pipewire.socket 
systemctl --user --full edit pipewire-pulse.service 
systemctl --user --full edit pipewire-pulse.socket

YMMV, but here they are, in handy squashfs form. For puppy like operating systems, just change extension to .sfs.
