Sway is a tiling window manager and Wayland compositor, inspired by i3, and written in C.[3] Sway is designed as a drop-in replacement for i3 using the Wayland display server protocol and wlroots compositor library.[4] Sway works with existing i3 configuration files and supports most of i3's features while providing several new features of its own.[5]
Sway's first stable release was on 11 March 2019, after 3.6 years of development.[6]
In April 2023 official fedora sway spin released with fedora 38.[7][8]
