I'll be honest, if I have to open a console and go edit a few files to configure sway, I'm out. It always starts with "just edit this one file" and balloons to "yeah, if you want everything to work you'll need this over here, and that over there too, oh and I forgot to document this totally optional but mandatory thing that you'll find out about on stackoverflow". Have enough PTSD from "just make && sudo make install" to believe that things are that easy - especially if Arch mentions it.
Thanks for the link, it might come in handy someday, but Wayland is off-limits until my X11 system becomes unstable.
