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.

check out my config files for i3 https://github.com/ispanos/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/i3

I like yaml because it is human readable and can be easily edited, but it is not easy to create a readable file when tracking a lot of things for each transaction. My current installation script uses yaml files to organize packages and system-wide configurations according to their purpose.

Nvidia is not supported, but it works. I have been using sway with Nvidia for about a year I think. You need to create a new desktop icon for sway. I have this script https://github.com/ispanos/ptinopedila/blob/main/templates/ispanos/vars/files/sway/sway-ptinopedila.sh in /opt I think, and this custom desktop file https://github.com/ispanos/ptinopedila/blob/main/templates/ispanos/vars/files/sway/sway-ptinopedila.desktop.

I also have a list of packages and 'configurations' in another repo, for a script I wrote to automate the installation process. Here are the script's config files. The script itself is not ready yet, but the yaml configs and other files, are easy to read and understand.
