You have repeated many times that removing pulseaudio would remove

Suggested workarounds have been
'rpm -e --nodeps pulseaudio' followed by 'dnf install pipewire'

'dnf swap pipewire pulseaudio --allowerasing'
Any comment?
Hi John,
I did your rpm command and that did remove pulseaudio, but not the
other pulseaudio packages installed like pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. I
used the same rpm command to remove that package and the other packages
that wanted to remove gnome-shell, and it was doing that, that caused my
system to not start Gnome or KDE after a reboot irrespective of whether
I tried to start them with Xorg or Wayland.
After I reinstalled F36 which installed both pulseaudio and
pipewire I issued the command dnf swap pulseaudio pipewire, which
replaces pulseaudio with pipewire, and that command was rejected on the
grounds that pulseaudio couldn't be replaced by pipewire because that
would remove Gnome-shell.
regards,
Steve
