Unless you have nVidia graphics, sway is probably a drop in replacement for you, with minimal changes from your i3 config. You can literally cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/config and it will work. If you have nVidia, you're outta luck.

  I work in ML and the sciences, so nvidia is a huge huge part of my daily life. intentionally crippling a DE out of spite so it cannot run on the drivers i use every single day is also a crappy look. https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html

    From your link: > There are Linux kernel APIs that we (and other Wayland compositors) use to get the job done. Among these are KMS, DRM, and GBM - respectively Kernel Mode Setting, Direct Rendering Manager, and Generic Buffer Management. Every GPU vendor but Nvidia supports these APIs. Edit: I should mention, if your hardware doesn't support given software, just don't use that software. There's just no need to go in shouting about how terrible said software is.

        Ranting about people complaining because you don't go out of your way to support their hardware doesn't seem the same to me.
