Hi Timothée
I just want something less resource-hungry than the default. I love Gnome when its about getting new users into Fedora (Ambassador program). I run rawhide version to catch bugs. Gnome misbehaves once in a while. Someone at #fedora-qa (freenode) suggested "Sway" as a fallback. I liked it on first trial! I may not say the same for Sway- lock though -- that one is quite unstable.
After some weeks, Sway is growing on me. Making it the major DE is preferable (others like "awesome" or "i3" can be the fallback instead).
SUMMARY: -------- 1. I just need a simple DE that allows me to focus on work (then I can report any bug that shows up in the process). I use a wide range of tools (for Music, design, development, office, .... etc.) 2. It would be nice to access other partitions without running "gnome- disks" with elevated privileges. Policy-kit (authentications) don't seem to work in Sway DE. 3. I look forward to a packaged version of slurp and grim (running a compiled version for now) 4. Perhaps there is another screen locking utility that works well with sway. Sway-lock snaps when I use multiple shells
Hope that describes my use-case well enough
Regards Onyeibo

Hi,
A spin is a lot of work! It is easier to start from a Fedora minimal installation and pick the groups and packages you want (that's what I did). We might want to document such a setup in the quick docs first :-)
What would be your use case?
