    I do, in fact, not know what I am talking about. Is there actually some sound engineers or musicians that are having real-life issues with it ?

      Not strictly an issue in that sense, but I am a musician that heavily uses software monitoring for guitars and vocals, meaning I rely on the lowest latency possible to play back the input.

      Pipewire just isn’t quite there on the performance level of jack, but I also use realtime kernels and CPU governors to further reduce latency issues, so this is an extreme use case.

      While the guy you replied to seens a bit unhinged, I have to agree that pipewire isn’t the holy grail some people make it out to be, but I guess it’s a better solution than pulse audio for 99% of general users.
