What were you using before Sway?
I tried to switch from KDE to Sway semi recently, but the learning curve kinda threw me back. On top of some technical issues I’m sure were my fault. >.> Maybe some other time.
Might be your fault, might not be. There’s a lot of apps that don’t play well with the minimalism from Sway and need workarounds.
It’s always a journey to learn what does and doesn’t work out of box whenever you install minimal software
I’d recommend playing with it on some side laptop to get into it, before you switch completely. It wasn’t useful for me, but I got very comfortable over time and am super happy with it today.
I was using hyprland. It’s not necessarily your fault, as one lemmy user has mentioned, many times things just don’t work but can work with workaround.
