Is it possible to have certain packages ignored by the PackageKit-command-not-found service?
New, inexperienced users who follow an outdated tutorial and want to run pa-info are offered the installation of the pulseaudio server. Many will agree to this in good faith.
The user then has an incorrectly configured system with activated pipewire and pulseaudio servers. All programs that use pulse (e.g. Gnome Sound settings test speaker app will no longer work! )
Firefox also uses pulse for audio!
$ pa-info
