Sway fails to start
When starting sway via gdm, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then it crashes and goes back to gdm.
When starting it from a console, it shows that sway segfaults.
Here's my system.yaml:

The Arch page says Sway depends on Cairo yet I don't see it in your track anywhere, is that possibly the cause?

dependencies are automatically installed
I'll try the track out myself tomorrow and see if I can see anything else that might be wrong with it, I am about to go to sleep.
alright
update: with the default config, it just shows a black screen, while with my config, it segfaults

i've tried with both radeon and amdgpu (i have a firepro w4100/cape verde) and both fail the same
also, this is only on my desktop
so unless you have a cape verde or similar, you probably can't reproduce this
good news: it starts when doing it from a terminal in a GNOME session
gonna try lightdm instead of gdm
I have tested out the track and it works. Like you said before it's probably an issue with your GPU.
update: seems to be an issue introduced with sway 1.10, most likely broken because the legacy drm stuff is disabled by default now
So does it work now
nope, and that wasn't the issue
for now i'm using swayfx, a fork up sway which hasn't been updated in several months
