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 sway
|
|
without separately enabling a Wayland server:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting language="bash">
|
|
programs.sway.enable = true;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
This installs the sway compositor along with some essential
|
|
utilities. Now you can start sway from the TTY console.

|
If you are using a wlroots-based compositor, like sway, and want to
|
|
be able to share your screen, you might want to activate this
|
|
option:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<programlisting language="bash">
|
|
xdg.portal.wlr.enable = true;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
<para>
|
|
and configure Pipewire using
|
|
<xref linkend="opt-services.pipewire.enable" /> and related options.
