I am on Gentoo and using openrc and sway runs fine. The only thing that might kind of rely on systemd is sway-idle which wants logind (or to run as root iirc).
I know you know this, being the sway and wlroots maintainer and all but I figured I would show a concrete example of this working fine.
- emersion 4y agoFWIW, swayidle only has an optional dependency on logind. It can be built without. In fact, we're even discussing removing the logind-related features from swayidle. (swayidle never required running as root though.)
- chlorion 4y agoWhoops! The Gentoo use flag on swayidle says elogind : Enable support for rootless session via elogind I think this is just a generic description shared between all packages with this flag though! Maybe I can suggest that this be fixed to reduce confusion.
