SwayBang is back — rebuilt, streamlined, and ready for anyone who wants a fast, minimal Linux desktop using the Sway tiling window manager on Wayland.
If you’re new to it, SwayBang is my Wayland-based spin on ArchBang, designed for users who want the flexibility of i3-style tiling but with the modern display features Wayland offers. It’s lightweight, responsive, and perfect for laptops or desktops where efficiency matters.
