musl-void + flatpak appreciation post
Many PRs have been opened to add Ly to the repos, they've all been rejected because of the submodule thing and because it's had some severe technical issues. I really don't understand this subreddit's obsession with that specific greeter. If you want something in the repos that provides an almost identical interface, use greetd + tuigreet.

swaylock at boot instead of greeter?
i like greetd using tuigreet

NixOS Tuigreet and SystemD
Relevant Github issue.

Add custom keymap
However, from what I understand, I think that setxkbmap only sets the layout after starting Xorg. Infact when I first boot the computer and get to my display manager tuigreet (which is a TUI application that runsi in a tty), I have to type my credentials in QWERTY because of course Xorg has not started yet.

Ly display manager : characters rendered on top of the box
I like it because it just works. Install the packages, set greetd to use tuigreet, enable the greetd service, and you're done. Also subjectively I like the UI better.

A visual representation of march=native on a different computer, I'm surprised it got that far.

Ly – A TUI Display Manager
Knowing the alternative tuigreet (https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet), there won't be much of a difference between a video and the given screenshot. You have a prompt, you enter username and password and your Wayland compositor/X session starts up.

sway
- Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland compositor
- Sway 1.9 Release
- Sway 1.9

"We understand" ;)
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.

Firefox on the Brink?
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.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1743144
Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
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.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
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.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
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.
-
On Desktop GUI Minimalism
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).
