correct-horse

It might be a cheap word in the US, the precise definition matters in many countries.

I really don't have much to say, just wanted to thank you for officially releasing a Linux build, and supporting us at all. We, the silent majority, very much appreciate your work. Every release of every application brings out the moaners, this is to be expected. Thanks.

| It is running in xwayland though

It definitely isn't on my system, and I did not touch the configs at all; are you sure about that?

Almost 70% of the male population in my country smokes. Should I take up smoking because everybody else does it?

It's free software in letter, but not in spirit. True free software doesn't lock out non-official builds for zero technical reasons.

| among the engineers there are a significant number of people who believe that's how things should be

There are close to zero people who tend to think like that among actual engineers. That's why we have reliable transportation and bridges and skyscrapers that work for (soon to be) centuries. On the other hand, we have lots of them among self-professed "engineers" who have changed many monikers over the past couple of decades and will probably call themselves "gods" in a few more years down the line.

If you're still on pulseaudio for some reason, it ships with a similar module named "module-echo-cancel":
