I'm trying to understand why one laptop with Plasma which had pulseaudio removed, won't bring in pipewire as a dependency. I have set USE="- screencast", because I don't need/want this functionality, as I have done on other systems which nevertheless have had pipewire brought in as a dependency.
# emerge -1aNDv pipewire These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
