If you follow my tutorial does it work for you?

See https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool/issues/207#issue-1762095867

Same issue. Used to work for me on sway and am now getting this error, even with su.

EDIT: huh, weird, I did some things including trying xhost +local: and restarting sway, and now it's shifted to this bug: https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool/issues/205

I resolved this issue by installing xorg-host in arch linux and running the command xhost local:root.
