I’ve been suggested to use a tiling window manager like Sway since it allows for controlling windows with hotkeys, but I’m having trouble getting started. I installed it in Fedora and tried logging back in with SwayFX (since it has features like blurring) but after I’m just shown a wallpaper with a top bar, the top left shows a 1 and the top right shows the time. I don’t know what to do there. I tried looking up guides but didn’t find anything, can you link me some if you know of any?

    Important one is Meta+D. This opens dmenu, which lets you run commands, such as to open apps.

    Dmenu isn’t my favorite. I like to download Fuzzel, an app launcher. It lists all your apps for you. I bind that to something Meta+A. Fuzzel also has a command running mode that operates like dmenu, which I bind to Meta+D.
