Proposal has been submitted for consideration Fedora38 may launch Sway ISO Spin version

IT House reported on December 3 that although Fedora users can install the Sway Wayland synthesizer through the system’s built-in software library, Sway fans still hope that the Sway window manager version will be provided in the upcoming Fedora 38 version, so as to provide more Simple, out-of-the-box user experience.

A change proposal has been submitted for consideration to create a Fedora Sway Spin release that would require Sway to be pre-installed. The change proposal does acknowledge, however, that there has been mixed feelings about the default desktop/compositor changes in the process of introducing another Fedora-spin.

Current feedback support has been low. We saw wildly different feedback, with some saying they liked the idea and would use it, and others saying it had no value and probably wouldn’t use it. Some commenters emphasized that it wasn’t worth it for them, as they would have preferred to install Gnome alongside Sway.

There are also comments that some users like to have a minimal set of packages that only includes Sway, and don’t want to use the two-step process to get their environment if they install a version that isn’t Sway and then have to install Sway on top of it, This happens.

IT Home learned that Sway is Wayland’s compositor and an alternative to x11’s i3 window manager. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features plus some additional features.
