dotfiles VS Sway-DE

Create some systemd units with what you want to happen before and after unlocking your session. Here are the units I use. gdmflex.service is what takes you to GDM and lock-sway.service locks the session before getting to the GDM screen. The latter is a MUST! To lock the session I use loginctl lock-session.

I have created a lock.target and an unlock.target. When lock.target starts, it starts swaylock.

If you want to copy-paste my config, at least my current one, you will need sessionctl in your path and executable. I made this, because having those commands in my config, didn't give me the flexibility I wanted.

I wrote this one today (you can find the code here, but it wasn't really a pleasant experience. I don't want any extra dependencies for small scripts like this, but there must be an easier way to create something like this in a few minutes.

A wrapper script so that bemenu always looks the same: https://github.com/Madic-/Sway-DE/blob/master/bin/bemenu-run.sh

Waybar is working reliable for me. It maybe crashes once a month. But when it crashes, it's being automatically restarted by a systemd user unit

I know. But this requires way more overhead. For my professional ansible usage we do prefer the usage of group_vars. But for my simple dotfiles management it's to much. My dotfiles are managed with three small playbooks and templates
