@linmob Yeah wayland is kind of a pain, IMO it's more painful than X. That's part of why some people don't like it.
@swiley The thing is: On Arch Linux ARM (which I've run on laptops for years), it's simpler to get sway running than anything Xorg. No messing with elogind or seat (ok, seat is a relatively new thing, it might bite me on my next Arch install, too).
@linmob You don't need elogind for X (although I just checked and apparently I'm running it, I guess that's what I get for using a distro with a package manager for the base OS.)
@swiley I am a wayland guy, and getting sway to run was never this hard (most likely because I am new to runit and everything).
