> micromanaging your env

All the "micromanaging" you need to do to not have screensharing is one of the following; 1. Don't have a started dbus session 2. Don't have portals installed and setup 3. Don't have pipewire installed and setup

Meanwhile on X what you need is: 1. Have X

So no, it wouldn't work, the reason why it works for those people in the Reddit post is because they use distros and sessions that do all the things I listed that make screensharing not work if any one is not done.

PS: Wayland does have testing protocols for screenshots and screenrecording like 'wlr-screencopy' and some DMA buff one I forgot the name of. But for screen sharing there's nothing that Wayland implements itself afaik.
