    Cool, didn’t even know that. Are there any (gaming-related) tests/benchmarks/comparisons for Pipewire vs. Windows audio?

      Idk but what I tested was outputting my mic audio over my headphones. Windows has a toggle for that in the sounds settings (I mean the one where your audio devices are listed, Windows has like 3 different sound settings) and on Linux I used Helvum to connect my mic to my headphones. Doing that on Windows made it really hard to speak because the latency was too high but on Linux, it was as if there was no latency at all and I could just talk normally. Unfortunately I don’t have any numbers but if there’s a way to test it, I’d be happy to do that.
