Description

Hi!

Please add an instruction for **Pipewire** to "[Tutorial - Recording Computer Playback on Linux](https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_linux.html)".

The tutorial says "Most modern Linux desktop systems use PulseAudio sound system", which I believe is no longer correct (at least for Ubuntu).
Thank you.
