Simon Ser b48cb6b0ec Remove --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia 
Nvidia has historically been a bad actor in the open-source graphics
ecosystem because they required a special EGLStreams code-path
instead of exposing the de-facto standard GBM API. However, with
their upcoming release they now support GBM as well.

This is a push in the right direction for Nvidia, so there's no
reason we should be more hostile to them than to any other proprietary
driver. Let's remove the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag, and advise
users to use --unsupported-gpu now.

Note, proprietary Nvidia drivers are still unsupported by the Sway
project (just like all other proprietary drivers).

Installation

From Packages

Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for yours.

Compiling from Source

Check out this wiki page if you want to build the HEAD of sway and wlroots for testing or development.

Install dependencies:

  • meson *
  • wlroots
  • wayland
  • wayland-protocols *
  • pcre
  • json-c
  • pango
  • cairo
  • gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
  • scdoc (optional: man pages) *
  • git (optional: version info) *

* Compile-time dep

Run these commands:

meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install

On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:

sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway

Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.

Configuration

If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to ~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config. Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.

Running

Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
