That sounds great and PipeWire seems like a good project to bring audio/video
production on Linux forward, but I don't completely agree with the conclusion.
Besides of the project aims being relatively vague at this point and them
basically creating a roadmap in October, which is far from being woking and
stable, just having good audio support in a system isn't everything.
Ubuntu Studio for example also comes with a lot of pre-installed software that
is not only used just for configuration, e.g. samplers, instruments, effect
plugins and MIDI stuff. Other than that, it also installs some useful GIMP
plugins and many additional fonts (although a bit messy at this point) for
graphics work.
After all, the point is to be able to install an optimised system without
spending a lot of time searching for all the software, plugins and
configurations if you're doing this type of work with it. So I don't think
these distributions have run their course yet, or will any time soon.
