Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.
Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.
The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.
One big difference is that sway doesn’t run as a login process (and neither does gdm), meaning none of your .profile files are getting sourced. Check how your environment variables differ between i3 and sway and see if that might be the issue.
