From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use it to make sure that:
The application that should be making sound is showing up in the patch bay. If it's not, that application probably needs its audio output settings tweaked
The application is being routed correctly. I have multiple audio outs, and pipe wire allows for different applications to go to different outs simultaneously. The patch bay is an easy and quick way to check that config.
