If you like i3 but want to try Wayland pain-free - Sway uses i3's config file syntax, so you shouldn't have to change anything to try it out :)

- dijit 5y agoCaveat emptor: your normal apps might struggle still. Some common things have wayland native replacements but it might be jarring. Redshift (automatic Color temperature change) -> gammastep Dunst (notifications) -> mako Rofi (launcher) -> idk I just used kitty+fzf with some special options.
- extr 5y agothere is a wayland replacement for rofi called wofi. i didn't use rofi for anything particularly intensive so it was a drop in replacement for me
- helmholtz 5y agowlsunset was a lot simpler for me to get to work compared to gammastep, which I thought had too steep a learning curve. I only need it for the yellow light, thought.
- dijit 5y agoOh interesting. I don’t know if I set anything specific but I usually just invoke it with my lat/long and it seems to work. Will look at wlsunset too, maybe it’s a better UX. :)
- btdmaster 5y agoDunst is native wayland since early 2021[1]. Instead of rofi, bemenu[2] is nice too. [1] https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst/issues/264 https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst/issues/264 [2] https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu
