On XFCE?
You dont.
Or rather ā€¦ you dont with XFWM.
If you want to replace your window manager with a wayland capable one it may be possible ā€¦ if you also replace the Display Manager ā€¦ but IDK.

You mean it is not necessary in xfce, why?

How do I know if Iā€™m using GDM or Lightdm?

I finally did not understand if xfce supports wayland or not?
I can switch, if I do, there will be a problem

all those questions are answered in the linked archwiki article
