Thanks for your help with a starting point. I have begun looking at
the
kickstart files to try to figure out what I am looking at and thinking
about how I would change them for sway.
I made an attempt to write group definitions for sway based on my setup:
https://fedorapeople.org/cgit/alebastr/public_git/sway-comps.git/tree/swa...
That's hardly a satisfactory set for any user or SIG member, but at
least we can start from here.
Do you guys have a recommendation for a login manager? Would we want
one
with wayland support or is it fine to rely on X for compatibility?
My vote goes to the sddm. It's the most sane option even while it's
X11-only, and the wayland support work was recently picked up.
Hopefully we'll see it in 0.20.
Other options (via `dnf repoquery --whatprovides
'service(graphical-login)'`):
- gdm - supports wayland, but has a hard dependency on the whole GNOME
(gnome-shell + gnome-session). Unable to load environment from
.profile/.bashrc/.zshrc/... by design.
- kdm - part of KDE4 legacy package.
..
- lightdm - no active development, was broken last time I tried (does
not hand over all the input devices to a wayland session).
Supports wayland and reportedly can use wayland greeter if somebody
writes one.
- lxdm - seems dead upstream
- slim - dead upstream since 2013
There's also greetd, which is nice but too minimalistic and opinionated.
Needs at least XDG_SESSION_TYPE support before considering it as a
default option.
