## sway
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Create a `sway` branch to test building a minimal install with a brand new window manager and removing xorg packages!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Disable all GUI packages to build a "minimal" install.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-We'll take that image and triple check package dependency chains for sway and applications to run on it
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This will likely require significant refinement, as I'll need to test configurations on real hardware to validate multi-monitor behavior.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Further, it will require some time to get used to it, but from rudimentary tests I have been able to run every game of interest on it, and with significantly increased performance!

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Installed packages:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- sway
|
|
|
- alacritty
|
|
|
- wofi
|
|
|
- waybar
|
|
|
- xorg-xwayland
|
|
|
- xorg-xlsclients
|
|
|
- qt5-wayland
|
|
|
- glfw-wayland
|
|
|
- grim
|
|
|
- slurp
|
|
|
- xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
|
|
|
- libpipewire02
|
|
|
- ttf-font-awesome
|
|
|
- wl-clipboard
|
|
|
- lxsession-gtk3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Next create a config for sway:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- mkdir -p ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
- cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/config
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-_I'm still tinkering with one using `wofi` for `$menu` and waybar, but it's not nearly ready._
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Migrate as many hotkeys from `rc.xml` as possible to sway config
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Added to `~/.bash_profile`:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
|
|
|
- export SDL_VIDEODRIVER="wayland"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-_The `SDL_VIDEODRIVER` is for steam, and may break in many games, so I'll need to add overrides for incompatible titles using `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11` in steam launch commands, or if more games fail than no I can invert my setup so I add the override for games that I know work with wayland._
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Switch to waybar in sway config (_this is a massive improvement over the default_):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- bar {
|
|
|
- swaybar_command waybar
|
|
|
- }
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-_I need to research how to fully customize waybar, because it has a **lot** of data and could be refined!_
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I need to test wayland native alternatives to `urxvt` and `pcmanfm`; one recommendation is `alacritty` as a `urxvt` replacement, and `pcmanfm-gtk3` is supposedly wayland-compatible without xwayland. Needs to be tested.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-I also need to test a base install with **no** GUI packages and manually installing the sway dependencies to ensure a minimal build.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Add logic to sway config that starts sway-session target:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- exec_always "systemctl --user import-environment; systemctl --user start sway-session.target"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-_Delete legacy userspace service files, and edit/change others for sway-session compatibility._
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Create new systemd service files for:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- update-desktop-database (oneshot)
|
|
|
-- xdg-user-dirs-update (oneshot)
|
|
|
-- gtk3-settings (oneshot)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-_Verify whether we can delete `.Xdefaults` and `.Xresources`, as both should be legacy xorg specific; eg. urxvt._
|
|

+Going directly to hardware trials because virtualbox support requires too much undesirable configuration:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Verify usespace systemd sway-session launch works as intended
|
|
|
+ - _does sway config loading from non-existing directory crash?_
|
|
|
+- Check all userspace service status to see if anything failed (eg. missing package(s) etc...)
|
|
|
+- Verify whether `~/.config/libfm` is valid, and it's not `~/.config/libfm-gtk3`?
|
|
|
+- Verify whether we can remove `pash` script in favor of hand-rolled commands
|
|
|
+ - _delete commented commands using old scripts_
|
|
|
+- Verify whether `playerctl` can replace `mpv-control`; does it work when on another workspace?
|
|
|
+ - _see if there is an option for inactive windows_
|
|
|
+ - _delete commented commands using old scripts_
|
|
|
+- Try hidpi setting (`output * scale 2`)
|
|
|
+ - Do all my key applications recognize it?
|
|
|
+ - pcmanfm
|
|
|
+ - mpv (???)
|
|
|
+ - firefox
|
|
|
+ - _does firefox look like absolute dogshit?_
|
|
|
+- Triple check client menu like my super+tab hotkey that let's you see a list of installed applications
|
|
|
+ - _I don't need this, but other users might..._
|
|
|
+- Experiment with left/right alignment keys like I had on my other desktop; and resize support
|
|
|
+ - _While I don't necessarily need complex splitting, I can at least try it and get some hotkeys setup for it_
|
|
|
+- Experiment with `Scratchpad` and a hotkye to establish a persistent terminal
|
|
|
+ - _It might be as simple as using a hotkey to send and retrieve from Scratchpad, which extends to all apps?_
|
|
|
+ - perhaps we can name the scratchpad to allow us to "reserve" one for a script to utilize...
|
|
|
+- Configure `waybar`
|
|
|
+ - _Improve visual aesthetic?_
|
|
|
+ - _Eliminate unused or undesired information; battery on desktop?_
|
|
|
+ - _Auto-hide it?_
|
|
|
+- add message to waybar and pactl for battery and volume control warnings
|
|
|
+- Investigate wofi theming (_Supposedly supports css, but can we import GTk theme?_)
|
|
|
- research firefox auto-configuration _or_ copying configuration files (_eg. if plain text can add to dot-files_):
|
|
|
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
|
|
|
- verify if it remembers workspaces when re-opened
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
+- install `cmst` from aur and try it out as an option for wifi support; if good add to my installation by default
|
|
|
+ - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cmst/
|
|
|
+- Multi-Monitor configuration/hotkeys
|
|
|
+ - supposedly each monitor is treated as a separate workspace, so this might work well
|
|
|
+ - https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/gr7yvt/assigning_workspaces_to_specific_outputs/

|
|
|
+ - https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/ftuiqa/is_it_possible_to_set_my_starting_workspace/
|
|
|
- test/fix multimedia keys for volume change support (_may require actual hardware; would also consider popup icons?_)
|
|
|
- https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/bwwxg0/xf86_audio_keys/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- add `yad` to packages as a wayland-native `zenity` alternative
|
|
|
- - add messages to waybar for battery
|
|
|
- - add messages to pash for volume changes?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- install `cmst` from aur and try it out as an option for wifi support
|
|
|
- - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cmst/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- investigate using `scratchpad` feature of `sway` for persistent terminal with toggle hotkey
|
|
|
-- investigate creating workspace affinities for things like fullscreen games so it automates placement/movement
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- set sway config to load userspace `.d` directory for custom settings
|
|
|
- - touchpad-specific configuration; we may be able to add a default if we can identify ideal settings...
|
|
|
- - display-specific configuration
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- on real hardware I'll need to test/refine sway config hotkeys for better navigation
|
|
|
- - test creating workspace "affinity" for games and videos etc... so they open into a desirable placement?
|
|
|
- - multi-monitor support and configuration; I'll need hotkeys that move applications between displays
|
|
|
- - supposedly each monitor is treated as a separate workspace, so this might work well

|
|
|
- - https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/ftuiqa/is_it_possible_to_set_my_starting_workspace/
|
|
|
- - test left/right arrow navigation; both changing workspaces and also displays
|
|
|
- - _can this be used for all workspaces or only numbered?_
|
|
|
- - _Does it loop?_
|
|

|
-### testing
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- sway launched without any issues
|
|
|
-- waybar is awesome, basically replaces both tint2 AND conky at the same time
|
|
|
- - can we resize and adjust what is displayed?
|
|
|
- - can we add cmst and launch from right click?
|
|
|
- - can we auto-hide/show with modifier keys so fullscreen apps work?
|
|
|
-- wofi is very fast and very clean, but it seems to be pulling from `.desktop` and not raw command line
|
|
|
- - can we disable history so when it cannot find something it doesn't launch the last thing it had?
|
|
|
- - _figure out how to add and run raw cli commands and we'd be set!_
|
|
|
- - can use mod+d for apps and mod+space for terminal commands!
|
|
|
- - I can also load a custom css to style it very nicely
|
|
|
-- alacritty is fast and works great so far, need to test unicode character support, but if so it might be time...
|
|
|
- - _can possibly dump `.Xdefaults`?_
|
|
|
-- firefox ran without xwayland, so it's native!! Woohoo!
|
|
|
-- wine, and specifically genshin, ran natively without using xwayland? Holy shit!
|
|
|
-- sublime text loaded and is wayland native (eg. no xlsclients)
|
|
|
-- Resolution was resolved, but adaptive sync only works with display port not hdmi sadly
|
|
|
- - _genshin now perfectly launches filling the screen without waybar, so maybe it's a non-issue?_
|
|
|
-- used mozilla gum_test to verify webcam, mic, and screen sharing worked
|
|
|
-- I should also investigate get_inputs to see what config options I have there!
|
|
|
- - _namely for mouse and touchpad fine-tuning defaults; if they aren't already_
