I mean I didn't care about X11 until I used Wayland and realized that I didn't just have to deal with screen tearing.
To get screen sharing to work on most Wayland systems, you do need Pipewire. So I learned enough to set it up. And then I learned enough to tune it for my audio recording use cases. Which wasn't actually that much work.
- brnt 4y agoI'm using X11 and I haven't seen screen tearing since the augths. I do see frequent Wayland hangs, weirdly indepdent of hardware and distro... Agree with OP, these things don't really interest me either. I did try Pipewire; is worked as well as PulseAudio for me. The most complicated thing I do is use connect Bluetooth headphones every now and then.
- p_l 4y agoThat's because the reality is that screen tearing happens due to hw changes in certain GPUs and not X11, and Wayland compositors dumb down the GPU interface that they need to synchronize in userspace anyway and thus lack of sync logic in intel gpus doesn't cause tearing anymore.
