sway

sway is currently the most stable wayland compositor I have ever used. It's a drop-in replacement to i3.

Setup

Software

Here is the list of software I use with sway to run a functionning desktop:

  • sway
  • swaylock
  • foot
  • waybar
  • fuzzel
  • mako
  • micro
  • yazi
  • aerc

Quick install

Here is an opinionated barebones list of basic programs you will need to run sway. For a full overview of tools and software I use, there is a list in the dotfiles entry of the wiki.

sudo pacman -S sway swayidle swaylock swaybg \
