sway
________________________________________________________________________________
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]

[001] Installation
________________________________________________________________________________
There are three flavors of Sway in the repositories.
1. 'sway': Sway as upstream intended. Comes with all the bells and whistles
and requires use of the seatd daemon.
2. 'sway-no-seat': Sway without the seatd daemon requirement. Instead, the
libseat library embeds the daemon.
3. 'sway-tiny': All changes from 'sway-no-seat' plus no dependency on pcre,
json-c, pango and cairo.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| $ kiss b [sway|sway-no-seat|sway-tiny] |
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
If the system has no fonts, installation of a font is also required.

| $ kiss b ttf-croscore |

[002] Setup
________________________________________________________________________________
--[003] Add User To Input Video And TTY Groups ---------------------------------
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| $ addgroup USER input |
| $ addgroup USER video |
| $ addgroup USER tty |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
--[004] Setup Seat Management --------------------------------------------------
If using the 'sway package, the seatd daemon must be setup. Refer to the
documentation found here @/libseat
If using the 'sway-no-seat' or 'sway-tiny' packages, there is no seatd daemon
requirement. Instead you must be the first to call DRMSetMaster. [1]
--[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.
[006] Usage
________________________________________________________________________________
No documentation is currently provided with the package, refer to online
documentation for the time being.
[007] Troubleshooting
________________________________________________________________________________
If you are using the 'sway-tiny' package and encounter any issues, send bug
reports to $/kisslinux/repo rather than upstream.
