Agreed, it's a bit sparse but setting it up was a lot of fun. Made me realize just how much work goes on behind the scenes for something like gnome to tie everything together.

On the plus side, I've gotten a much better understanding of all the moving pieces under the hood. It's also been a good excuse to migrate to some new tools which spark more joy than the old ones

Oh no argument there. I had a lot of fun reinventing scheduling systems and minimizing memory usage [1], and I have gotten Sway into a state that I really really like. I have customized modal Vim-style keystrokes, and I've created my own program program to look through currently opened windows. [2]

I probably wouldn't try to sell my parents on it though.
