I'm using artix with runit and swaywm, but can't get pipewire screen capture to work. I tried with arch linux and it worked fine with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr but is it fully depended on systemd?

It should work. Please go through https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/wiki/%22It-doesn't-work%22-Troubleshooting-Checklist.

There might be a need to add this line on the last line of the config of river and the beginning of the line of the config on sway: added this to config file and sway takes a long time to start and terminal crashes if i run it without removing I3SOCK from it. exec dbus-update-activation-environment DISPLAY I3SOCK SWAYSOCK WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway

anyway i got screensharing working and I don't need keep that in config file.

I added this to ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

I am here to also confirm that it works. You just need to click wether you want to stream though, then it will immediately open the screenshare window.
