Sway

Sway is a dynamic tiling window manager designed as a drop-in replacement for i3, built for Wayland. It provides a lightweight, keyboard-driven workflow without relying on a full desktop environment.

Installing Sway

Sway can be installed as a standalone compositor or with an aerynOS-provided minimal configuration and branding.

Base installation

sudo moss install sway

Optional aerynOS configuration and branding

Install the minimal preconfigured setup and aerynOS branding with:

sudo moss install pkgset-aeryn-sway-minimal
sudo moss install branding-aeryn-sway

Starting Sway

After installation, select the Sway session from your display manager or start it from a TTY:

exec sway

Configuration
