Really exciting to see this released! Is there a good distro to run this on? I run Ubuntu at home but from my understanding, adding Sway to Ubuntu seems non-trivial. Is there a good distro I can switch to that supports Sway?

Sway runs fine on most distros, so it's going to come down to other things. Debian experimental has a package for it.

  But Debian ships default with X still right? So what distros are wayland native with Sway in the repos?

    Debian has Wayland support. Like I said, most distros work fine with Sway. It would be harder to find one that doesn't.

I'd wait for Ubuntu 19.04 to get wayland-protocols 0.17, which is required by wlroots. If you want to test it now, Arch linux has a package already: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sway/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sway/
