Try i3/sway - Githubissues

I don't have any immediate plans to do it because I currently use Gnome and I really like it. But I had a branch with a configuration from a past Linux experiment, and I need some place to store it.

This is the configuration from my first i3 experiment in 2020. Today, I would probably rather try Sway - a drop-in replacement for i3 that runs on Wayland.
