Pipewire is not necessarily required, but screensharing will not work without it.

Install `pipewire` and `wireplumber` (**not** `pipewire-media-session`)
#### Non-systemd distros
Since here is no truly standardized way (outside of systemd) to load PipeWire when starting
a graphical shell[^1] non-systemd distros like Gentoo or Artix provide a decicated launcher.

It can be usually found by running `whereis <distro>-pipewire-launcher`.
If such file does not exist on your install please refer to your distro's documentation for help.
