sway users. what's the current stack of, like, extra shit i need to get a minimally functional "desktop environment" out of sway? not applications, i mean like:
>network manager & it's applet
>a notification daemon
>pipewire
>xdg desktop portals
>screen locker
>gnome keyring (or an alternative?)
>polkit agent
>usb automounting (not sure what all is necessary here, gvfs, udisks, udiskie/udevil i think?)
i know you can technically use sway without the whole dbus/freedesktop mess but say i want to accept the bloat in order to just get everything working what all do i need to make everything behave correctly? is there an actual reference for like "the full freedesktop stack" i should look at?
also what specific packages do you use for this? as in do you use mako, dunst, or fnott, etc.
