Allows you to use Sway, a tiling window manager, with GNOME 3 session infrastructure on NixOS.
A limited combination of sway and gnome. This creates a custom gnome session that starts most gnome services along with the sway window manager.
Stuff that kinds works:
- flatpack in gnome software
- keyring integration
The gnome-control-center, Settings, largely works as expected:
- account settings
- power management Settings
- printer settings
- sound settings
- network settings
- bluetooth settings
- default apps settings
- search settings
These settings immediately crash will result in Settings unable to start again:
- multitasking settings
Use dconf editor to remove the last panel setting from gnome-control-center if it does not start up after a crash.
