Just recently installed garuda with hyprland wm, but I also would like to have sway wm installed. I would like to know if anyone can give me a heads up on any conflicts between them?
I liked very much the setup on the live usb, is there any guide to which of the config files I need to copy to have sway working that way on my installation? I know these wms come with a lot of tweaks to look like that, so is there any way to copy that setup as it comes from the live distro?
You can copy the configs off of GitLab.
A lot of the configs you will need are in /etc/skel/.config/sway, although as you can see there are quite a few components that go into it.
Another approach you can try would be to install the garuda-sway-settings package and copy the configs you need out of /etc/skel (on your machine) into the user directory.
Be careful about bringing over all the configs, since some applications are used in both spins but have different configurations (for example Waybar, nwg-drawer, Kvantum, etc). You’ll have to either decide which config you want to go with, or do some hacking around to get one separate configs to be used per session.

You can also create two seperate user accounts to have two different spins ( haven’t did my own self but you can give it a shot !!l)
Other than that you can also dual boot with garuda sway and hyprland spins seperately

He can most probably just insert a exec parameter/dispatcher in Hyprland and Sway config and add in the command for that program which has two different variations in config with the respective option like --config ,etc to point to two custom instances of the config files each time a session in either of the WMs is started.
