My beautiful sway setup :)
Here're some of the project's best features:
- it looks good
- it's fast
- it makes you more productive
- it's not a mess
- it barely uses ram

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git && cd yay-bin && makepkg -si
02. Install packages (those are all the packages I use... you do not need all of them)
