almost every distro that offers an i3/sway/awesome install option seems to do a really poor job of it.

I don't know why.

Last time I started an endeavoros install with a default i3 it borked the login manager and set no system handlers of any kind. When I went to fix the handlers the entire package that set them was gone. When I went to install that (on the advice of the accompanying forum) I had to install most of GNOME.

If you're using something that isn't KDE or GNOME you're probably going to hit rough edges.

That used to be the case a few years ago as well, when Wayland/sway was still considered experimental.

I had tried Manjaro i3, and XFCE’s i3 variant but at the end it was actually more convenient to install the KDE version and then install i3 on top.

Anymore it's literally anything that isn't GNOME. Red Hat is basically keeping that project going.
