If you "roll your own", well yes you have to polish and tweak a bit

No, I haven't used window maker. I have some with openbox experience back in the crunchbang# days and some i3 tiling window manager when I was on fedora.
I may consider sway on my new installed debian bullseye gnome. Gdm is wayland capable afaik so it can be a good option for me.
Well, tweaking when using as a word seem so innocent and simple. Unfortunately many of the window managers come with insufficient documentation that can allow a newcomer to "tweak" the environment for her/his productivity needs. Additionally many of the window managers seem dated. I don't want to use a window manager that is optimized for software from 80s or 90s. Another reason I am curious to try "Sway" window manager, which seems relatively recent.
I just made a workaround in my Gnome desktop and prevented "Evolution Calendar" from eating up my battery and cpus. I installed Thunderbird and switched to it.
I guess I will check out sway on Debian and see if I can find additional documentation besides the sway wiki...

Does anyone have experience with setting up sway on Debian Bullseye? How difficult it is to make it work on a basic level? Can I have wifi and bluetooth capabilities with it, eg via a bluetooth network manager?
Just realized the website link is not working. Here is the wiki page below:

If you have experience with sway and know how to set it up, would be interested hearing your experience.
