🚧 manjaro linux with wayland 🖼, sway 🌴 and a lot of ♥

manjaro sway edition

description

i recently saw, that there was a decent manjaro sway distribution for arm. this is my approach to port a lot from those configurations to a regular manjaro sway built, with some smaller and bigger changes:

• trying to use a decent cli solution whenever available
• automate stuff where feasible

where can I download an iso?

images are build and uploaded in a relatively regular interval to github releases

how to upgrade?

after upgrading packages, you will sometimes need to update you skeleton:

cp -rf /etc/skel/.config/* ~/.config

keep in mind that this could cause problems with customizations you made. make a backup pls.

what are the commands?

you can reach a quick introduction pressing Super + Shift + ?

what doesn't work yet?

• blurry fonts in xwayland

Otherwise: you tell me. I'd be happy to try to even out everything. PRs will be accepted in the repos listed below.

sources

• iso profile
• desktop settings

building

1. check out the iso profile
2. buildiso -p sway
