but with the way the sway session is started, as opposed to the i3 session. We need more info on this.

I'm using gdm to start sway. I'm using the laptop's built-in fingerprint scanner to unlock (Not sure if it matters). I saved the fingerprint in the Gnome session long back.

gdm probably looks inside /usr/share/wayland-sessions and finds sway.desktop and uses it to launch Sway.

I've tried to keep things as vanilla as possible.

Isn’t i3 Xorg only, and sway wayland only?

Correct.

Maybe wayland is launched using restrictive set of permissions.

Learn Docker even if you have a single app. I do the same with a Minecraft server.

  • No dependency issues
  • All configuration (storage/network/application management) can be done via a single file (compose file)
  • Easy roll-backs possible
  • Maintain multiple versions of the app while keeping them separate
  • Recreate the server on a different server/machine using only the single configuration file
  • Config is standardized so easy to read

You will save a huge amount of time managing your app.

PS: I would like to give a shout out to podman as the rootless version of Docker

What, you didn't know you had to crank the power to high before microwaving your phone? Rookie mistake

I once installed Bazzite on my PC. I am an sway user/addict. So thought about installing sway on Bazzite.

Below is my journey


Let me try to download and compile it.

Downloaded but it won't compile.

The libraries/dependancies are not installed. Here, try installing the packages via brew.

Nope, some of them are available and some are not on Brew.

Now what do I do? Okay, there is something called distrobox where I can install whatever I want.

Looks like I have to learn distrobox. Wait, sway is not a simple application, it's a full blown window manager. Even if it compiles, will it work?

Most of the people online (Discord) told me the process won't be very pretty.

Do I want to invest another week experimenting with distrobox?

Nope, installed Nobara the next day and I'm happy.


Disclaimer: Bazzite is a fantastic distro and it's powering my RoG Ally. Atomic distros are fantastic for the niche they fill.

Development, I’m not sure about

This has been done by Github several times. But thankfully, all major distros are not primarily hosted by Github.

However, I am unsure how powerful sanctions are on distros if the US becomes relentless.
