How to start OS with waybox? #39

Open andoruB opened 7 months ago

Apologies for the n00b question, my first time using Wayland instead of X11. I installed Manjaro Sway, and as predicted, it starts the Sway compositor. Since I'm not very used to tiling WM, I would prefer to switch to a stacking WM. I tried to look around for a way to change the default compositor, but even Arch Wiki doesn't mention how to do this.

So does anyone know how I could switch to waybox?

You should be able to put Waybox in ~/.bashrc or equivalent. It might be possible to create a systemd unit to do it. You can also use an X11 display manager to start Waybox. There's also greetd, which has Wayland frontends, but I've never used it.
