Pipewire is miles better than anything Windows can conjure up in latency, quality, and customization

For my own curiousity, is this a recent thing? When I was researching before making the jump to linux, it was implied that audio on linux wasn't in the best state comparative to windows.

Technically it has been a thing since like 2015, but Pipewire 1.0 was only released 10 months ago , even though many distributions were already using it by default since 2021 (Fedora) and 2022 (Ubuntu, Pop! OS), given how much of an improvement it was over pulseaudio.
