We are building a manjaro sway edition - with the following principles:
- use a decent cli/tui solution
- convention overrideable by configuration
- prepare opt-out
- build everything automatically
You can find the weekly ISO images on github releases.
To extract the regular images, download both the z01
and the zip
files, and run the command:
cat *.z* >tmp.zip && unzip tmp.zip
You can create a bootable USB stick using Etcher. Check our FAQ for additional hints.
- nvidia proprietary drivers <470 are not supported by sway.
- nvidia's 470 drivers and the 5.14 Kernel have just added sway support for proprietary drivers and are known to cause problems.
- nvidia open source drivers (noveau) are known to cause problems, refer to the arch wiki for pointers
- vmware player is known to cause problems similar to nouveau - you could use gnome boxes or virtualbox instead - refer to the arch wiki for pointers
