Sway is a tiling window manager and Wayland compositor, inspired by i3, and
|
|
|
|
|
written in C. Sway is designed as a drop-in replacement for i3 using the more
|
|
|
|
|
modern Wayland display server protocol and wlroots compositor library. Sway
|
|
|
|
|
works with existing i3 configuration files and supports most of i3's features
|
|
|
|
|
while providing several new features of its own. [0]

One must either have the seatd daemon running or launch sway with
|
|
|
|
|
'seatd-launch [args] sway [args]'. Refer also to @/libseat.

--[005] Set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This environment variable must be set to a directory that is writable by your
|
|
|
|
|
user. This can be anywhere in theory though /run/user/$(id -u) is recommended.
