A new desktop has been implemented to APTus AppCenter: Sway

What is Sway

Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.

Installation (Sparky 7 only)

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade

then install Sway via APTus AppCenter-> Desktops-> Sway icon (recommended way).

It comes with basic configuration and a few tools, such as:

– Alacritty – a terminal emulator for Wayland

– bemenu – lets you launch an application; it can be started via left bottom icon or a shotcut: mod+d

– Swaylock – a desktop lock for Wayland

– Swayidle – an idle management daemon for Wayland

– Xbacklight – a simple utility to set the backlight level

– nmtui – a CLI network manager

– Xwayland – lets you launch some applications from X window server

– and a few small apps

It will be configured to Sparky Advanced Installer to let you install it from a Sparky Minimal ISO too.
