Instead of having a build-time option to enable/disable xwayland support, just use the wlroots build config: enable xwayland in Sway if it was enabled when building wlroots. I don't see any use-case for disabling xwayland in Sway when enabled in wlroots: Sway doesn't pull in any additional dependency (just pulls in dependencies that wlroots already needs). We have a config command to disable xwayland at runtime anyways. This makes it so xwayland behaves the same way as other features such as libinput backend and session support. This also reduces the build matrix (less combinations of build options). I think we originally introduced the xwayland option when we didn't have a good way to figure out the wlroots build config from the Sway build system. |

Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
