 i get

ooking for conflicting packages...
:: pipewire-alsa and pulseaudio-alsa are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-alsa? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: pipewire-alsa and pulseaudio-alsa are in conflict

systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket --now
systemctl --user disable pulseaudio.service --now

I don't remember having to do anything to disable pulse when I switched to pipewire, just out of curiosity when pacman asked you if you wanted to remove the conflicting packages, did you hit 'y' or just hit enter?  Hitting enter would be a 'N' so the conflicting packages wouldn't be removed.

To answer your question you can disable a dinit service with this:

Code: [Select]
dinitctl disable <service>

This will show more command options:
Code: [Select]
dinitctl --help

You can find what the pulse service is called by looking in /etc/dinit.d/

As far as starting pipewire with dinit there's a few threads on this forum on how to do that, like this one:

Did you check in /etc/dinit.d/ to see if there is pulseaudio service that needs stopping?

It could be that you just need to kill the pulseaudio program and then run the pacman command to install pipewire.

Personally I haven't had any trouble with dinit and I'm pretty inexperienced with much technical within linux.

Not sure what kde is doing to give you trouble, I haven't looked at kde in over a decade though I've been thinking about it.  Sorry I can't be of more help, maybe someone with experience in kde will respond.
