Sway

“my desktop now is a purposefully unsexy Sway desktop that is completely flat and I do like that”

“Sway + keybinds for each workspace. Everything in it's place, every time, by pressing 3 keys.”

“I really don't feel like the stock package is decidedly unfinished and you need to install/make plugins to make it actually usable.”

“SXMO with sway WM/composer, foot terminal, and wvkbd as a keyboard is very responsive”

“I personally find i3/sway to be a bit slightly disorienting with certain workloads”

“I still prefer sway over the animated alternatives for other reasons.”

“both Sway and Hyperland still doesn't has official support yet”

“it's not bad by any means it's a bit too unlike what I'm used to”

“I like Sway's IPC and that every keybind is also a command you could run.”

“I switched to Wayland and sway about 2 years ago and it hasn't been bad”

“Heck yes KDE, sway, Niri, and so many other new desktops are so so so nice.”

“a lightweight graphical setup (like a minimal sway with a full screen terminal window open) is zero copy”

“Multiple displays with different scales has worked fine since at least 2017”

“Sway + foot with keybinds to provision each workspace to your liking is pretty nice.”

“sway/niri want me to tile every window into some top-level spot.”

“I can get HDR in sway and its actually more stable than Valve's mess of gamescope”

“Sway had the better, though often tedious, WM tab solution that I've tried.”

“even then it fixed screen tearing, which I was never able to entirely eliminate with Xorg”

“it's way snappier and sharper than on any Linux distro I tried”

“If your software wants to do something like "know where the pointer is" it won't work on sway.”

“High DPI is a pain in Xorg, and essentially impossible with heterogeneous monitors.”

“Sway is basically i3 on Wayland. You pretty much keep your config file (with a few modifications), there really isn't much friction.”

“I've got Sway keybinds to jump between my most-used programs instantly”

“I can totally say that KDE AND Gnome AND Cinnamon AND Sway AND even the immature Niri are all better experiences than macOS.”

“I know Sway (and presumably other simple wlroots based compositors) work alright”

“I use Sway window manager and am more than happy to avoid those huge bloated Guiwares”

“That alone was enough for me to switch to sway in 2016, and I've never looked back.”

“GNOME and sway have clean fractional scaling without blurring”

“Tiling WM is just so simple, clean, fast, and perfect in every way.”

“wayland projects like plasma, hyprland, sway etc are very much not failed”

“I personally have taken a leaner approach by opting for Sway (tiled)”

“to this day there's no InputCapture portal, so I can't use Synergy with Sway”

“I used to run i3 (and eventually Sway) on it, which worked well”

“with sway/i3, unlike in Windows, I can throw the game around in whichever way I wish.”

“I've been running Sway (wayland) on FreeBSD for years without issue.”

“Setting arbitrary custom resolutions on the fly works fine on Wayland for me.”

“Sway and wlroots are also real community projects with no big corporate sponsors”

“a wayland based alternative like sway or miracle is a better choice nowadays”

“Wayland+sway switch from x11+i3 is so simple and works so well.”

“The cost of using a customized sway environment is basically your life.”
