I mention this in the article.

And unlike Xorg, Wayland didn't have it hacked on. There was an actually decent library available (PipeWire) and portals that made it work nicely, and fit with the vision of the Wayland developers.

I am interacting with the X protocol and trying to sort it all out and no, it is NOT perfectly fine. It's enough of a hell that I'm considering leaving the heavy lifting to third party libraries like SDL, Winit, and Smithay.
