Getting a menu on right-click of the title-bar (but not on background!)
Here's how to do it - in this example, I'm using my sway-menu python script to generate the menu itself. I'm also moving the menu to be near the cursor:
-
Remotely starting graphical app inside Sway session, when the app needs to run as root, without relying on authentication from within the session
Maybe try my script sway-runner

Using nwg-wrapper for a HUD of help for sway modes
As a geriatric user of sway, I don't always remember the keystrokes in the more esoteric corners of my configuration. I find that my script sway-menu helps with the bulk of the uncommon key bindings. But when I drop into a 'mode' (eg "move" mode) I don't always remember all the clever things I programed into it.

Is it possible to have my Bluetooth controller disconnect automatically on idle?
I wrote a simple bash script bluetooth-timeout to power-off the linux bluetooth stack after 10m of activity. Maybe this would help you.

What do I need to install on the Sway spin?
Another source for ideas is to read through the configs and scripts written by others. I offer my own here - there are many others around.

Digital overlay clock?
Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

Sway productivity tips
Imma gonna browse through your stuff to see if there's a scratch to a hitherto unnoticed itch that I can snarf. You might like to do the same with my dotfiles - particularly bin/sway-\, *.config/sway** and .config/waybar.

Anyone know how to move container to the next *empty* workspace?
You might be able to modify my sway-next-empty-workspace script for that. Maybe see if changing swaymsg to i3-msg does the job.

Password manager solution in Wayland?
I use myclipman to wrap clipman with wayland/swaywm to prevent passwords being cached.

Rocky Linux Shares How They May Continue to Obtain the RHEL Source Code
I'm in the middle of switching now, from Silverblue. It's a lot of fun. The Arch wiki to do something will have you changing three files and restarting 2 services, while with NixOS you add a line to your config and you're done. And when something doesn't exist as a Nix package/config, it seems somewhat easy to build your self (compared to other package managers, at least). I realized there's no "game-devices" package last night, for example, but I was able to get this working in about an hour of Googling:
https://github.com/pkulak/dotfiles/blob/nix/nix/gamedevices....
Still not all the way in. Like, I'm still going to use Chezmoi for my home directory because I don't quite see the value-add of Home Manager, but who knows; maybe I'll be a super fan next year and move everything over.

Which fedora spin are you using?
Fonts were always a PITA for me too, until I realized you can just drop whatever you want in ~.local/share/fonts. Then you can even track them with whatever dotfile manager you use and always have them available on every machine you use, immutable or not. There's zero need to involve a package manager.
- I've got Librewolf here, on the left, with no title bar and Firefox on the right. How can I get Firefox to look the same? I've tried 'Customise toolbar... uncheck Title Bar' setting and duplicated the Librewolf userChrome.css in Firefox but I can't seem to get it to behave itself. Any ideas?

What's the current most effective way of setting env variables in Sway?
I just have a wrapper script that I run instead of sway itself.
- Don't forget to export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

Switching from macOS to Pop _OS
That doesn't fly with me. I just use Alacritty and re-bind the keys so I can still use ctrl-c and v:
