# Sway-Config
2023-11-19 20:59:52 +01:00
My current SwayWM Setup for Arch Linux. It uses bash Skripts and systemd-utilities. If you want to use it without them, help me improve it. If you want just a full setup for sway-desktop, have a look at [nwg-shell ](https://nwg-piotr.github.io/nwg-shell/ ) at first.
