I do still have some problems with freewheeling. Ardour always crashes on exports when using the Jack interface, but everything works over the Pulseaudio interface. It might be an Ardour thing, but it doesn’t occur when actually running Jack. So something is actually different with Pipewire.

For me the main argument is the repo side being proprietary.

Pocketbook very recently added it. But most importantly koreader has it (an open source reader app that is available for a lot of devices), so I basically had it before (excluding system menus which was annoying).

I mean, to be fair, that article is over 20 years old by now.
