From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But those aren't a part of the PulseAudio package in general - at least from what I know. Looks more like LADSPA and CALF plugins to me. Maybe you've installed them accidentally?
i needed pulse audio and those plugins to get some shitty monitor to work and not sound too bad. lsp plugins was the only thing that worked.
I'm going to install Linux Mint on a VM and see what's going wrong with yours. But when you're dealing with older native package managers, you'll come across packages that litter your desktop. This isn't the case with modern ones like NixOS or Guix, however. I see that you're adhering to UNIX philosophy, in which case, you should use independent distros like Devuan, Hyperbola, etc.
oh ok. thanks. i am using different linux distros on different machines and devuan is cool for me. yet i was supprised not to find signal messenger at all anymore in search on mint. its not last in the list but not in the results at all anymore.
Wait a second, how did you realise that OP adheres to Unix philosophy?
If you scroll down in the comments below, you'll understand why - OP doesn't like corporate backed software.
