I'm a i3 user that has been trying to migrate to sway.

I use it with these environment variables:

export XDG_DATA_HOME="$HOME/.local/share"
export XDG_STATE_HOME="$HOME/.local/var/state"
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.local/config"
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$HOME/.local/var/cache"

Which gives me a clean home with only ~/.local for my dotfiles.

And issue that I've noticed that I haven't been able to fix is that every time that I start sway, hyprland and also the alpha of cosmic is that I get a new ~/.cache directory created in my home that contains a mesa_shader_cache directory.

Btw in the middle of writing this post I just ran into another bug, thunar for some reason decided to steal my key presses from the web browser, and even though I had the browser window focused as I have sway configured to change the border color of the window with focus, thunar was like nope wtf.

Thank you all for the help, ended up opening a bug report at sway: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/8191

I have this command on my i3wm configuration, which extends the 3 displays that I have into a single one for games.

bindsym $mod+Shift+k exec "xrandr --setmonitor extended auto DP-1,DP-2,DP-3"

The only issue that I have is, once I'm done, how do I revert back to having the displays individually? This has been driving me crazy.

Searching on internet all that I've managed to find is using xrandr -s 0, which actually just turns off my other displays.

And what is worse is that if I then manually turn the displays back on, THEY ARE STILL EXTENDED "xrandr -s 0" does not even reset that lol.

So far what I have to do to revert the changes is to log out of my current session.

SOLUTION: THE COMMAND IS: xrandr --delmonitor extended

Here is the script, which is a hack that I use with i3wm, I already converted most of it to a single line and it still works:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

is-leaf-node() { i3-msg -t get_tree | jq 'recurse(.nodes[]?, .floating_nodes[]?) | select(.type == "con" or .type == "floating_con") | select(.focused == true) | .nodes == []';}; parent-type() { i3-msg -t get_tree | jq -r 'recurse(.nodes[]?, .floating_nodes[]?) | select(.nodes[]?.focused == true) | .type' ;}; if [ "$(is-leaf-node)" == "true" ]; then i3-msg focus parent, focus parent; else i3-msg focus child, focus child; fi

Here is where I'm stuck:

The script needs the #!/usr/bin/env bash to work, it is the only script that I have that needs it.

Changing it to #!/usr/bin/env bash; does not work, it has have a second line for it to work.

I'm trying to migrate from lightdm to just using startx to start my i3 session.

First I had issues with kdeconnect working which were fixed by replacing exec i3 with exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session i3 in the xinitrc.

Now even though the apps works it is not following the system theme, I checked qt5ct and it is telling me that QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is not set to qt5ct.

But I do have export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct on my ~/.profile it seems the file is not being read but I have no idea on how to fix it.
