@nielso I wish the community would get an initiative across various projects up and running where they pick a random user's special use-case (like yours) and try to fix as many of the issues there are as possible and by solving those, raise the tide for all other users in a similar place as well.

Well, Linux in a way is democratic. What isn't used by many people isn't supported that well. This was more or less okay in the past, you could always try to compile stuff yourself and tweak things.
But with Wayland and Pipewire we're facing kinf of a new situation, in which central infrastructure of distros gets replaced by things not yet suitable for special needs.
Furthermore, putting more and more tings into snap packages doesn't make it better. Snap doesn't allow accessing files outside $HOME, but who would but 6TB of video footage into their $HOME? (my situation)
Even worse, I use an X11 graphical terminal. Dunno if that will be supported in the future.
First time in my Linux life I will have to set up a "development system" with a recent distro and switch over after I got to work everything.
I can do it. But it's not my main business, it keeps me from doing other things.
