betterlockscreen VS multilockscreen

I use betterlockscreen :)

My only problem right now is that I absolutely hate how i3lock looks. I tried follow the installation steps of betterlockscreen to try to have it replaced. I have so far managed to setup a keybind that locks my machine using betterlockscreen.

I'm looking for a lock screen for my laptop. Previously I used betterlockscreen on Arch with systemd, but I really don't understand how to make it work with runit.

looks like betterlockscreen but i don't know whether it has sway compatibility

For my use I didn't really encounter that many issues. I used OpenRC, and had some issues with betterlockscreen, but I think I solved it fairly fast with xss-lock. Since I also a MX Master 3 I had some issues with having the logiops daemon start a startup, but also this wasn't much of an issue because of the Gentoo forums.

You should be able to disable screen locking in the DE's settings. Someone mentioned it in this GitHub issue

I'm using xidlehook suggested script that you can find here with betterlockscreen instead of i3lock

While I was using awesome I used a slightly modified systemd file from betterlockscreen which looks like this:

This is a weird choice in my opinion. multilockscreen first locks the screen then suspends the system when using multilockscreen -s. That makes much more sense to me.

I have a laptop that I use without battery to protect the livespan while i'm in lockdown, I manage to set up suspend on idle and hibernation through systemd (following this) and works fine, then set up a screen locker with xss-lcok and multilockscreen (following this and this) and then again, work fine, block the screen on idle.
