A decade ago, all distributions switched to a new sound stack that is better by all metrics. He is saying he is old and knows the name of the old stuff, therefore new stuff bad
The pipewire switch happened far more recently than a decade ago, you may be thinking of pulseaudio, which had far more valid criticisms than pipewire does now.
You’re an idiot who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Pipewire isn’t really up for production (and by far not a decade old) and whoever decided to activate it by default might have had easy desktop use and switching to BT or mobile audio trash in mind. If it comes to latency, low complexity or reliability, pipewire is terrible. It also doesn’t add anything useful that jack could not do, it only adds complexity where it’s not needed.
PW is nice, if you’re a newbie and want all your crappy BT shit to connect from the desktop so you can watch five tik-tok vids at the same time using you shiny “soundbar” (and have your voice comm blasting the neighbourhood), but it’s a mess if you want to use realtime audio with more than two ports, MIDI and a device chain for recording or playback.
Don’t matter replying, “Qwel”, I put you in my special place for trolling, abusive children who do not contibute to civilization - the killfile.
seems to me like you’re the troll. people who are advanced enough to want to use MIDI controllers and whatnot are advanced enough to just silently use the tools that work for them
I understand a couple of those words!

Oh. In my head both had happened in close succession

Say hello to Mr Killfile…

Sir, this is a Wendy’s
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 ?
