Jamie McClelland: From openbox to sway
I've been running the Openbox window manager since 2005. That's longer then I've lived in any one apartment in my entire life!
However, over the years I've been bracing for a change.
It seems clear the Wayland is the future, although when that future is supposed to begin is much more hazy.
Really, I've felt a bit like a ping pong ball, from panicking over whether Xorg is abandoned to anxiously wondering if literally everything will break the moment I switch to Wayland.
In fact, I started this blog post over a year ago when I first decided to switch from the Openbox to Sway.
This is my third major attempt to make the change and I think it will finally stick this time.
In retrospect, it would have been more sensible to first switch from openbox to i3 (which is a huge transition) and then from i3 to sway, but I decided to dive into the deep end with both changes.
