Sway

Sway is a dynamic tiling window manager designed as a drop-in replacement for i3, but built for Wayland. It offers a lightweight workflow that is well suited to machines where users prefer keyboard driven navigation over graphical shell integrations.

Installing Sway on AerynOS

Section titled “Installing Sway on AerynOS”

Sway is currently packaged as a single minimal session that you can add to any existing AerynOS installation. Install the package set with moss:

Terminal window
sudo moss install pkgset-aeryn-sway-minimal
sudo moss install branding-aeryn-sway

After installation you can select the Sway session from your display manager, or start it directly from a TTY with exec sway.
