Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor that’s fully compatible with an existing i3 configuration. It makes it easy to replace i3 and use Wayland as the display protocol. I’ve been using Sway since I switched my Linux distribution from Arch Linux to Fedora Silverblue. In this guide, we’ll discuss how you can install and configure Sway tiling Window manager on Fedora.
Add required repositories before you get started. Create a new file.
sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/sway-deps.repoAdd below copr repositories.

enabled_metadata=1Install Sway Tiling Window on Fedora
Sway is available in many Linux distributions official upstream repositories. In Fedora, the package is called “sway” – both Fedora Workstation and Silverblue.
--- Fedora Workstation ---
$ sudo dnf -y install sway
--- Fedora Silverblue ---
$ rpm-ostree install swayInstall Sway operation dependencies
We also need to install a number of packages that will ensure we have a complete tiling window management experience in our Fedora Desktop. Some of the packages used in i3 have replacements for sway.
These are the tools that we’ll use:
- wl-clipboard: Command-line copy/paste utilities for Wayland.
- Waybar: Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors.
- miko – A lightweight Wayland notification daemon
- light – A program to control backlights (and other hardware lights) in GNU/Linux
- mpd (Music Player Daemon) – A daemon for playing music of various format.
- mpv – free (as in freedom) media player for the command line
- ncmpcpp – Featureful ncurses based MPD client inspired by ncmpc
- pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) – Simple GTK based volume control tool (“mixer”) for the PulseAudio sound server.
- Ranger – A VIM-inspired file manager for the console
- Rofi – A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement
- swaylock – Screen locker for Wayland
- termite – A keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.
- Powerline fonts – Patched fonts for Powerline users.
- maim – (Make Image) is a utility that takes screenshots of your desktop. It’s meant to overcome shortcomings of scrot and performs better in several ways.
- nnn – A full-featured terminal file manager. It’s tiny and nearly 0-config with an incredible performance.
- grim – Tool for Grabbing images from a Wayland compositor.
- slurp – Select a region in a Wayland compositor and print it to the standard output. Works well with grim.
Install these standard packages that will be used with sway.

If you have an existing i3wm configuration file, you can port it to Sway. Copy your i3 configuration to ~/.config/sway/config.
The default configuration path for sway is ~/.config/sway/config. If the file doesn’t exist, sway will check the configuration added by installer, which is /etc/sway/config.
Here is my configuration file for sway located in ~/.config/sway/config.

I recommend you visit Configuration and Styling wiki page for complete details on configuration and available modules.
Valid directories for Waybar configuration file are:
~/.config/waybar/~/waybar//etc/xdg/waybar/
Put your Waybar configuration under ~/.config/waybar/config. Here is my configuration file. You’ll have to create yours or customize someone’s to work for you.

Some login managers support Wayland, and others don’t. If you have
issues starting sway and you use a login manager, your first step should
be disabling the login manager and running sway as described by man 1 sway. If it works, report the bug to your login manager, not to sway.
You can start sway automatically without a login manager, for example, by adding this to your .bash_profile:
# If running from tty1 start sway
if [ "$(tty)" = "https://computingforgeeks.com/dev/tty1" ]; then
exec sway
fiOnce you have everything configured, logout and back in to enjoy using Sway and Waybar on Fedora. These configurations are not tied to Fedora distro only, With dependencies installed on any other Linux distribution, the configs will work just fine.
