Sure, I can help with that. Here’s a general guide on how to replace KWin with Sway on a Linux system:
1. **Install Sway:**
First, you need to install Sway. You can do this using your package manager. For example, on a Debian-based system, you would use:
```sh
sudo apt update
sudo apt install sway
```
2. **Configure Sway:**
Create a configuration file for Sway. You can start with the default configuration and modify it to suit your needs. The default configuration file is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`. You can copy it to your home directory and then edit it:
```sh
mkdir -p ~/.config/sway
cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/config
nano ~/.config/sway/config
```
3. **Disable KWin:**
If you are using a display manager like SDDM or LightDM, you need to configure it to start Sway instead of KWin. For SDDM, you can create a new session file for Sway:
```sh
sudo nano /usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop
```
Add the following content to the file:
```ini
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sway
Comment=An i3-compatible Wayland window manager
Exec=sway
Type=Application
```
Save and close the file.
4. **Select Sway Session:**
Log out of your current session. At the login screen, select the Sway session from the session menu.
5. **Log in to Sway:**
Enter your credentials and log in. You should now be in a Sway session.
Remember to back up your current configuration before making changes, so you can revert if something goes wrong. Enjoy your new Sway setup!
