Sway/Bspwm bundle

[dedguy21]

BSPWM

• Bspwm
• Kitty | alacritty
• Redshift - will be crazy painful to get it working from /opt 'cause geoclue needs dbus service & systemd service

---

• Sxhkd
• Picom -- no screen tearing
• Gvfs
• PcmanFM
• Polybar
• Xrandr
• Autorandr
• feh
  Lxappearance - updated in 2017, not worth it
  Lxsession - updated in 2014, not worth it

SWAY

• Sway
• SwayBG
• Swayidle
• Swaylock
• Kitty | alacritty
• rofi-lbonn-wayland-git | bemenu
• wlsunset | wl-gammarelay - redshift alternative

---

• Waybar - no idea how to compile it, logs aren't helpful
• Swaylock-effects (blurs lock screen)
• Kanshi (multi monitor use)
• Wlr-randr
• Wl-clipboard
• Autotiling
• imv (image viewer)
• Oguri - background setter
• Swayblur - works with oguri to blur when terminal is active

Themes & cursors - no idea if they will work from /opt
--- - core/extras split

Thank you for looking into this. I'm in the process of setting up what I would need to do to run a functional sway environment. Let you know what pitfalls are with environment as is.

@dedguy21 added some packages, you can extract their CI artifacts right now. Hope to add more before release.

No I prefer Wayland. Just the last time I used Nvidia on Sway it did not work. And it was forced replaced with nouveau. Thanks. I haven't looked at the sway bundle but it definitely needs to have waybar kanshi autotiling sysytemd-sway (if there's no modular session manager that can be attached).

If you *really* need Bspwm and will use it I'll try to talk with Clear folks - they still have the package https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/bspwm — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#8 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ALWUG7ESYHWI2A4SARD4YG3VANYODANCNFSM5Q632FMA> .

@dedguy21 I've switched to Sway too, can't help with NVIDIA 'cause only Intel graphics around. Check the Sway wiki and probably you'll find some info.

needs to have waybar kanshi autotiling

All provided by sway-extras and waybar bundles.

systemd-sway

Sway systemd service not provided 'cause manual setup will be required anyway, check our wiki.

Ah, we got the wiki^ and write access is granted for all, feel free to share something meaningful.

In sway I use foot terminal as a direct alternative to urxvt for Wayland. This works in daemon mode (exec foot --server) and runs the terminals with the footclient command (set $term footclient --no-wait).
It uses 18.5 MiB RAM (Private + Shared) right now on my system with two opened terminals (see sudo ps_mem output)

Also persway super powerful feature for sway. This adds the bspwm/awesomewm features to sway. I use it this way:
exec persway daemon --workspace-renaming --default-layout spiral

These packages are not in ClearLinux

If you or anyone else would like to contribute - I'll add both.

Wezterm will be available in the next release with server mode, multiplexing, images via sixel, ligatures, dynamic color schemes and more.
