classic linux thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, is i was looking up what music players had good visualisations, like the milkdrop kind we all remember. one was a standalone app that could respond to any audio on the computer. cool! so i hit up my package manager. but i noticed something. the installation seemed to require the removal of a few packages and replacement with some other ones. it wanted to remove the audio subsystem on my computer?? and change it to a different one?
