I wonder about this part: [...] systemd users will also need to run the following commands: $ systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket $ systemctl --user --now enable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket $ systemctl --user --now disable pipewire-media-session.service $ systemctl --user --force enable wireplumber.service [...] systemd users will also need to run the following commands: $ systemctl --user --now enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket $ systemctl --user --now disable pipewire.socket pipewire-pulse.socket [...] systemd users will also likely want to run the following commands, again for the purposes of non-audio PipeWire use: $ systemctl --user --now enable pipewire.socket $ systemctl --user --now --force enable wireplumber.service [...] I would also add a note about how to enable/disable them system-wide for all the existing users and the new users that could be created in the future I guess it should be using systemctl --global, but maybe some admins won't know that I also wonder if in systemd setups afterr enabling/disabling the relevant unit files it's still needed to disable the USE flags of the non-used daemon or that conflicts are openRC related :/ Thanks a lot
You should change the relevant USE flags even on systemd systems in order for the choice to be well-defined. The (runtime) conflicts exist either way. I think we could add --global to the command invocations.
That looks fine to me, thanks

Please go ahead and fix, thank you!
