I’ve been running Sway full time for about a year. I like it, but out of the box it kind of feels incomplete.
This isn’t a huge issue for me, and I did have a lot of fun overengineering my Swaybar, but I still think it should at least optionally come with some sensible default, like the system clock being added by default.
- awithrow 9mo agoAgreed, it's a bit sparse but setting it up was a lot of fun. Made me realize just how much work goes on behind the scenes for something like gnome to tie everything together. On the plus side, I've gotten a much better understanding of all the moving pieces under the hood. It's also been a good excuse to migrate to some new tools which spark more joy than the old ones
- tombert 9mo agoOh no argument there. I had a lot of fun reinventing scheduling systems and minimizing memory usage [1], and I have gotten Sway into a state that I really really like. I have customized modal Vim-style keystrokes, and I've created my own program program to look through currently opened windows. [2] I probably wouldn't try to sell my parents on it though.
