You might find a tiled window manager like sway to be a good alternative. + +Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor. It has the advantage of compatibility with an existing [i3 configuration][2], so you can use it to replace i3 and use Wayland as the display protocol. + +### Installing sway + +To setup sway, open a new terminal and type the following command + +``` +sudo dnf install sway +``` + +Once the installation is completed, log out of your user session. At the login screen, select your user account. Before you enter your password, choose _Sway_ from the menu, as shown in the following image. + +![][3] + +After login, your desktop looks like this: + +![][4] + +### Configuration + +To begin configuration, copy the default config into your user directory. Do that using the following commands. + +``` +mkdir -p .config/sway +cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/ +``` + +Sway is highly configurable. It’s suggested you read the project’s [wiki page][5] to fine tune your settings. For example, to change the keyboard layout, open a new terminal and run this command: + +``` +$ swaymsg -t get_inputs +[george@mrwhite ~]$ swaymsg -t get_inputs + Input device: VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse + Type: Mouse + Identifier: 2:19:VirtualPS/2_VMware_VMMouse + Product ID: 19 + Vendor ID: 2 + Libinput Send Events: enabled + Input device: VirtualPS/2 VMware VMMouse + Type: Mouse + Identifier: 2:19:VirtualPS/2_VMware_VMMouse + Product ID: 19 + Vendor ID: 2 + Libinput Send Events: enabled + Input device: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard + Type: Keyboard + Identifier: 1:1:AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard + Product ID: 1 + Vendor ID: 1 + Active Keyboard Layout: Portuguese (Brazil) + Libinput Send Events: enabled +``` + +Copy the identifier keyboard code. Open your _~/.config/sway/config file_ with your text editor and edit the configuration accordingly: + +``` +## Input configuration +input "1:1:AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard" { + xkb_layout br +} +``` + +Save the settings. To reload the configurations, press **Super+Shift+c**. (Typically the **Super** key is mapped to the logo key on a PC.) + +### Waybar + +Sway’s default status bar may not have all the functions you want. Fortunately Waybar is a good replacement. To install, run the follow commands. _(Note, however, that COPR is not an official Fedora repository and not supported by the Fedora Project.)_ + +``` +sudo dnf copr enable alebastr/waybar +sudo dnf install waybar +``` + +Open your _~/.config/sway/config_ file. Edit the bar configuration like this: + +``` +bar { + swaybar_command waybar +} +``` + +Reload the configuration and you’ll now see the waybar in action, as shown below. + +![][6] + +To customize the waybar, you can visit this [wiki page][7] for more details and ideas. + +### Alacritty + +Alacritty is a terminal emulator that uses the GPU for rendering, and a good replacement for _urxvt_. To install run the following lines + +``` +sudo dnf copr enable pschyska/alacritty +sudo dnf install alacritty +``` + +To enable it as default terminal emulator edit your _~/.config/sway/config_. Change this line: + +``` +set $term urxvt256c-ml +``` + +To: + +``` +set $term alacritty +``` + +Reload your configuration. + +When you open a new terminal with **Super+C**, alacritty will be open as seen in the following image: + +![][8] + +* * * + +_Photo by [Ivan Vranić][9] on [Unsplash][10]._ + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://fedoramagazine.org/setting-up-the-sway-window-manager-on-fedora/ + +作者：[George Luiz Maluf][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://fedoramagazine.org/author/georgelmaluf/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/sway-816x345.jpg +[2]: https://fedoramagazine.org/getting-started-i3-window-manager/ +[3]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sway_login_menu-1024x522.png +[4]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sway_desktop_default-1024x522.png +[5]: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki +[6]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sway_waybar_default-1024x522.png +[7]: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration +[8]: https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sway_alacritty-1024x522.png +[9]: https://unsplash.com/@hvranic?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText +[10]: https://unsplash.com/s/photos/sway?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText
