At times, I also want to start Xorg (eventually Wayland), and use pipewire for sound and even using bluetooth audio devices (easy with pipewire/pulse).While logged in, I can use pipewire even in console. But once logged out, sound is gone. So pipewire doesn't really work headless by default, is there a way to make it work headless (no one logged in, and still having audio enabled and playing music for example), how so?For your [email protected] to remain running (and be automatically started during boot) you will want to enable linger [1]. This allows for your pipewire user service (which runs in the scope of your user's [email protected]) to automatically run on boot and keep running without you having a session (which is the usual way for systemd to start your user's [email protected]).
