Yesterday, I spent half an hour trying to figure out why SDDM wasn't seeing /usr/share/wayland-sessions/sway.desktop before I realised that the reason it wasn't showing up in the menu was because I hadn't installed any fonts; so it was there, but it was invisible.

How do you even manage to install a graphical sessions without installing anything that depends on a font

% sudo xbps-install -Su sddm sway wayland

% sudo ln -s /etc/sv/sddm /var/service

% sudo sv up sddm

"Hey, why aren't there any sessions?"

i've faced this issue so much and i still haven't found a solution for it other than to have my dm and de in my xinitrc

is there actually a seamless fix (or is the xinitrc the seamless way lmao)
