While X11 (see <xref linkend="sec-x11"/>) is still the primary display | ||
technology on NixOS, Wayland support is steadily improving. | ||
Where X11 separates the X Server and the window manager, on Wayland those | ||
are combined: a Wayland Compositor is like an X11 window manager, but also | ||
embeds the Wayland 'Server' functionality. This means it is sufficient to | ||
install a Wayland Compositor such as <package>sway</package> without | ||
separately enabling a Wayland server: | ||
<programlisting> | ||
<xref linkend="opt-programs.sway.enable"/> = true; | ||
</programlisting> | ||
This installs the <package>sway</package> compositor along with some | ||
essential utilities. Now you can start <package>sway</package> from the TTY | ||
console. | ||
