What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

Pipewire is really buggy for me so I just use pulseaudio.
I had the opposite experience, Pulseaudio is a buggy pile of shit if you ask me!
Pulseaudio was always buggy for me. I’ve only tried pipewire recently and so far I’ve had no issues.
The only downside is that (from having to do so much troubleshooting) I know more or less how to configure and tweak pulseaudio. If I ever decide to do weird sound things with pipewire, I’m starting from scratch.
