linux-voice-assistant for Debian ================================ linux-voice-assistant ships a systemd user service. It is not enabled automatically because it opens the microphone and should run in the same user session as PipeWire or PulseAudio. To start it for your user: systemctl --user enable --now linux-voice-assistant.service To check logs: journalctl --user -u linux-voice-assistant.service -f On headless systems, enable linger so the user service can run without an interactive login session: sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER" Custom options can be added with: systemctl --user edit linux-voice-assistant.service For example: [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/linux-voice-assistant --name "Kitchen Voice Assistant"
