sway-launcher-desktop VS sway

Is it better than https://github.com/Biont/sway-launcher-desktop ?

I use sway-launcher-desktop. It does not really have submenus as you requested, but is still a nice terminal application launcher.

I don’t know if anything can beat sway-launcher-desktop (1) for me - bash and fzf are a lightning-fast combo.

Here's a list of other launchers for Sway, I personally use sway-launcher-desktop.

Now I use perfect TUI based sway-launcher-desktop

Hi! I just started using sway-launcher-desktop, and I noticed that I have several duplicate entries for vscode.

Sounds like this script https://github.com/Biont/sway-launcher-desktop (it doesn't depend on sway anymore). I've been using it for ages and really like it.

It's sway-launcher-desktop.

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
