oh my god why are people thinking pipewire is a "workaround" for screen sharing on wayland? is it because x had it built-in? what happened to the unix philosophy and all that? pipewire's job is to be a wire (or pipe, mayhaps) for audio and video, and wouldn't you know it, screen sharing is a kind of video

@kopper (it's also just a better audio server than pulse while maintaining compat through pw-pulse)

@fiore @kopper absolutely. like i can get people wanting to use runit or dinit instead of systemd (although i don't care to myself) but why would you willing choose to not use pipewire in the year 2026

It's a red flag even if you do things that aren't normal desktop usage. PipeWire is genuinely one of my favorite developments to come out of the broader Unix software world in recent years. It mostly just works. And even is compatible with things that use JACK, meaning, as an example, I can just use guitarix without any bullshit and route it to whatever audio software I need, even if that software only speaks in PulseAudio APIs.
