I'm on Arch on my work machine and it started working with pipewire about 3 months ago... no config necessary just works as intended both screen and window. There are some others at work on Ubuntu LTS but that is because Ubuntu is using ancient packages.

Ah, but the reply was about defaults. Do any of those distros ship with Pipewire as the default? If so, I'm sure it hasn't been since 2019 as the original poster claimed.

Pretty much all distros ship pipewire. Just not as the default audio server.

Fedora has it as default, but that's only been since 2021 not 2019. It's still been a couple of years though.
