Re: [gentoo-user] New install - Wayland and graphical login

[Tamer Higazi <th982a@googlemail.com>]

Hi Wol,

If I am you, I would install "mate" desktop, which is basicly gnome2 and 
gnome transition to wayland is as much as I know completed. XFCE is a 
bit behind, that takes a time ...

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MATE

What I figured out, that this is not the very only thing to have wayland 
supported.
When it comes to screensharing and propper bluetooth integration there 
is a fast moving project called "pipewire".

I have replaced pulseaudio with pipewire on my gentoo machine and teams 
work smooth as well bluetooth with AptX HD.

what this article doesn't cover is to setup the "module policy section"...
Here you sould change in /etc/default/pulse:

  load-module module-bluetooth-policy

to

|load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2|

That makes it possible to automaticly switch the codec automaticly when 
"mic" is needed.
(as windows does)

|I am happy :-)|
