Hello, thank you so much for this guide. It is so so helpful. I have done pretty much all these steps except #8. I was hoping if you could elaborate on the why for this specific step? I am using pipewire (and pipewire-jack), so what is this needed for, exactly?

Trying to read more in the manual, it seems maybe jack2-dbus isn't needed? Also, when I try to install it, pacman prompts me 

looking for conflicting packages...
:: jack2-1.9.22-1 and pipewire-jack-1:1.0.7-2 are in conflict (jack). Remove pipewire-jack? [y/N] ^C

These notes seem to imply that jack2-dbus is no longer needed, but I am not 100% certain. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ#does-pipewire-require-dbussystemdflatpak https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Run_PipeWire_on_top_of_native_JACK

This section https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/FAQ#what-is-wrong-with-jack--pulseaudio states: "Since 0.3.71, a jackdbus module was added so that pipewire can implement this exact same functionality, only much more efficient." So I don't know if this means we still need jack2-dbus or just dbus allowed?

Note that the title for that section says "ignore if using pipewire"...
