This makes it possible to hint to the renderer and backends how many bits per channel the buffers that the compositor draws windows onto should have. Renderers and backends may deviate from this if they do not support the formats with higher bit depth.

sway is an [i3]-compatible [Wayland] compositor. Read the [FAQ]. Join the
[IRC channel] \(#sway on irc.libera.chat).
## Release Signatures
Releases are signed with [E88F5E48] and published [on GitHub][GitHub releases].
## Installation
### From Packages
Sway is available in many distributions. Try installing the "sway" package for
yours.
### Compiling from Source
Check out [this wiki page][Development setup] if you want to build the HEAD of
sway and wlroots for testing or development.
Install dependencies:
* meson \*
* [wlroots]
* wayland
* wayland-protocols \*
* pcre
* json-c
* pango
* cairo
* gdk-pixbuf2 (optional: system tray)
* [scdoc] (optional: man pages) \*
* git (optional: version info) \*
_\* Compile-time dep_
Run these commands:
meson build/
ninja -C build/
sudo ninja -C build/ install
On systems without logind nor seatd, you need to suid the sway binary:
sudo chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/sway
Sway will drop root permissions shortly after startup.
## Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to `~/.config/sway/config` and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
`~/.config/sway/config`. It is usually located at `/etc/sway/config`.
Run `man 5 sway` for information on the configuration.
## Running
Run `sway` from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
