From 62927d61e58ba08c77e924bdeed05511523e83c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sjon Hortensius Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2019 09:55:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update README - append hint to keep xwayland installed when running sway as discussed in #3907, many wayland-native apps refuse to run (unless configured as such) without having xwayland installed. This can confuse new users who might be tempted to remove anything xorg related - only to end up with a broken wayland setup --- README.md | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 99835d6e5..a0b8b89ee 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -70,4 +70,6 @@ Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration. ## Running Run `sway` from a TTY.
