I know that Fedora does breaking changes and basically beta tests, but Pipewire “just works” since at least 2 years

Mint 21 is based on an LTS from two years ago so that tracks.

You’ll have to excuse the fact they’re basing on the LTS.

yeah it worked for most people back then as well, not well as today, and it has been my to tool for audio before the 1.0 release they fixed a lot of issues, and part of the Linux DE Stack had to make a lot of changes as well, the core for Linux Mint is older then 2 years.

Fedora is a Developers OS after all, it would need to pull stuff like that in before most do.

Yes, they did. I’m using Mint 21.2 Xfce with Pipewire “factory” installed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
