Just by installing the pipewire and wireplumber packages. Optionnally
also install pipewire-pulse if you have applications that need
pulseaudio.

I think piperwire is devleopped in a more professional way and more
maintained. However, if your system works frankly I owuln't touch it. Or
start by experimenting in a VM.
