Manjaro Sway Edition

We are building a manjaro sway edition - with the following principles:

• use a decent cli/tui solution
• convention overrideable by configuration
• prepare opt-out
• build everything automatically

How to install

You can find the weekly ISO images on github releases. To extract the regular images from multipart zip archive, download both the z01 and the zip files, and run the command:

zip -FF manjaro-sway-*.zip --out manjaro-full.zip && unzip manjaro-full.zip

You can create a bootable USB stick using Etcher. Check our FAQ for additional hints.

Known issues

• nvidia proprietary drivers <470 are not supported by sway.
• nvidia's 470 drivers and the 5.14 Kernel have just added sway support for proprietary drivers and are known to cause problems.
• nvidia open source drivers (noveau) are known to cause problems, refer to the arch wiki for pointers
• vmware player is known to cause problems similar to nouveau - you could use gnome boxes or virtualbox instead - refer to the arch wiki for pointers
