Debian • Re: Wayland and Sway

Thank you for your speedy reply. It will take me a little while to understand and action your suggestions but I will let you know as soon as.

i recommend making a script and putting it in /boot so after you log in you just run the script.

like ./boot/install:

Code:

#!/bin/shsudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgradesudo apt -y install sway xwayland rpi-firefox-mods firefox thunar mousepad xdg-user-dirs gldriver-testxdg-user-dirs-updatemkdir -p ~/.config/swaycp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/echo "[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && exec sway" >> ~/.profilesudo raspi-config

the last step in raspi-config you need to enable cli autologin, it'll reboot after that.
once in win key + enter for term, win key + d for applications.

i'm on a lite + sway install if you need more help after that. i haven't really installed to much yet.

I finally got the time to follow the above advice and now have sway working. Thank you so much for the advice. Two questions.

In the above screenshot, what is the window on the right?
Win+D gives me a list of all programs in the top title bar. Is there a way of making a custom list so that I don't have to scroll through all programs.?
