Hi Timothée
I just want something less resource-hungry than the default. I love
Gnome when its about getting new users into Fedora (Ambassador
program). I run rawhide version to catch bugs. Gnome misbehaves once
in a while. Someone at #fedora-qa (freenode) suggested "Sway" as a
fallback. I liked it on first trial! I may not say the same for Sway-
lock though -- that one is quite unstable.
After some weeks, Sway is growing on me. Making it the major DE is
preferable (others like "awesome" or "i3" can be the fallback
instead).
SUMMARY:
--------
1. I just need a simple DE that allows me to focus on work (then I can
report any bug that shows up in the process). I use a wide range of
tools (for Music, design, development, office, .... etc.)
2. It would be nice to access other partitions without running "gnome-
disks" with elevated privileges. Policy-kit (authentications) don't
seem to work in Sway DE.
3. I look forward to a packaged version of slurp and grim (running a
compiled version for now)
4. Perhaps there is another screen locking utility that works well
with sway. Sway-lock snaps when I use multiple shells
Hope that describes my use-case well enough
Regards
Onyeibo

Hi,
A spin is a lot of work! It is easier to start from a Fedora minimal
installation and pick the groups and packages you want (that's what I
did). We
might want to document such a setup in the quick docs first :-)
What would be your use case?
Regards,
