@det @rl_dane well yeah, I figured that part went without saying, lol. I'm happiest in i3 personally, but I've somehow become a laptop person in the last couple years, and i3 [at least the way I use it] sucks on a 14" laptop.

@gordoooo_z @rl_dane hahaha, for me, its almost the inverse
i prefer tiling on laptops and floating on desktops
at least we can agree on i3, i use sway which from the endusers side of things is damn near identical to i3, to me at least

@det @rl_dane Yeah, the thought has occurred to me recently that once I do get my office back in order and start working at my desktop again every day, I'm probably going to have to get used to Sway finally. At this point, I've pretty much adjusted to Wayland on every other device/install. I just hope there isn't too much weirdness when it comes to adapting my config. Off the top of my head, whatever I used as a colour picker is definitely going to have to be replaced.

@gordoooo_z @det

I personally found the "it'll just use your i3 config natively, there's no futzing at all!" claim to be exaggerated.

I don't remember what the issue was, but what I had to do was copy my i3 config over to ~/.sway/, and comment out every line. Then, I uncommented the lines in blocks of however many lines at a time, and stopped when it threw an error and troubleshot it.

You may have a much better time than I did, but of course, once I adapted my config, it was pretty golden.

The only thing I haven't found yet is something like xmag, but it's not hard to fake with grimshot and a viewer like nsxiv, feh, or imv.

I'm a huge nsxiv (images) and zathura (pdf, epub, others) stan.

@rl_dane @det Yeah, I think I tried once, and came to the same conclusion, but I wasn't in any kind of rush to switch to Wayland at the time so I figured it would be an exercise for when I had no choice lol
