I've uninstalled X and XWayland from my primary laptop and don't miss it at all! Zero tearing is beautiful, and PipeWire has completed the equation very nicely, so all the usual suspects that used to be problems (e.g. screensharing) work seamlessly.

- jacooper 4y agoZoom already supports screen sharing with pipewire.
- mijoharas 4y agoon their desktop application? I use their web version which does support it. Either way, their desktop version always used to say that screen sharing on my platform is unsupported. I thought they used some gnome only screenshot api which doesn't work very well?

- mijoharas 4y agoThanks! I wasn't aware. I needed to set a couple of environment variables, and it's still broken, but it shows something. (very strange artefacts, looks like it's capturing garbage.). Either way, thanks for letting me know!
