PipeWire has been increasingly beneficial to my usage of audio on Linux as time passes as well. Each update seems to fade it a little more into the background so I simply need not worry about it. Audio just does the expected thing for me these days, without fiddling or "hackery" required to make it so. It's also nice no longer having to worry about whether a particular bit of audio software is for Pulse, ALSA, or Jack. They all just work.
