Yes i could do that as it is a 500 GB SSD. You are probably right i should stop wiping out my good setup here even though they are on three separate drives.
Edit: Yes need to get back on topic about Sway so i will try a bare metal install when i gets time as I’m sure I’ll love it. You guy’s have put a lot of effort into this and i don’t mean to disparage it because of my issues.

waybar: config.txt (5.1 KB)
seems that there are some iconic fonts used from font awesome 6?
I do insert replacements from font awesome 5 what is version of package otf-font-awesome and this seems to show up good.

I just did that now…swtiched to font-aweomse 5 on github! 
Bar looks like this now! Not very different but all fonts now come from font-awesome 5 (plus waybar defaults - which I haven’t changed…maybe those are the font-awesome 6)
Got it! Network icons right!

Also i do have almost zero issue running the C-E-sway in virtualmanager here, i only got the double cursor but everything else working smooth and nice.
I see reports on sway about this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3814
Could someone try to find out if there is a workaround ? or a what is the reason for it at least?
I remember something similar for i3-setup where you need to disable v-sync in picom config to run it in virtualbox.

Did you try the thing on the github
If your experiencing issus with your cursor - edit file ~/.profile and comment out export WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1

As we add a dependency to welcome for pacdiff function and it seems the diff-gui we add (meld) will cause issue under Wayland could we go investigate how to solve this?
As it seems it needs xhost prefix to be able to run meld as root on wayland.
We could also add another diff tool running in cli or another gui if needed.
These diffing programs are supported by pacdiff in Welcome:
kdiff3 kompare meld diffuse code diff vim
(see variable EOS_WELCOME_PACDIFFERS in file /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf).
These programs can be tested by moving the one to test as the first in the listed values.
We already know that vim works, but that may not be the easiest for users…

seems in gnome works…
lol (wayland)
I guess (but don’t know) that gnome has made some special arrangement.
By the way, what command or commands exactly did you use to get meld to work with xhost?
i find somewhere it should also work with sudo -EH [meld/diffuse]
have to rebooot to relaunch
exit xhost , and do sudo -EH meld
but i think it has some polkit issue somewhere my system does sometimes weird lol

I think welcome does not start the diff gui as root? @manuel ?
I have no issue here:
To me it looks like welcome the holy wool-milk-sow is doing its magic already ? 
Oh no i simply do forget to disable the xhhost settings 
so not working for both… without give root access with xhost here sry for confusion…
to give access:
xhost si:localuser:root
to remove access:
xhost -si:localuser:root

Yes it does.
Was already writing more speculation but you had xhost already set.
Strange.
Why does this not work?
sudo --preserve-env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR,WAYLAND_DISPLAY meld
That is the only way to have graphical app in wayland…Am I understading you wrong? You want to open meld as GUI with root acess. This is better then doing the xhost thing?
man sudo:
The security policy may return an error if the user does not have permission to preserve the environment.
