Window manager
Wayfire is a lightweight, functional and good looking wayland window manager which should have been installed during setup. Although normally Wayfire can be configured with the Wayfire Config Manager or through .config/wayfire.ini
it now has to be done with the appropiate home-manager
config file.
Most applications which have to be auto started should already have been through runit
which gets started upon logging into the Wayfire session. These "services" are located in ~/.service
and can be managed with the sv
command.
