Description: i3-compatible Wayland compositor
sway (SirCmpwn's Wayland compositor) is a tiling Wayland compositor and a
drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your
existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's features, plus a few
extras. This means it is a minimalist, tiling window manager.
