Let me know if there are any mistakes or misconceptions there, I'm still feeling my way around here.

@nf 9front. I chose it because 9front seems to have the most active (and count) devs!

@nf use 9front, it's the most up to date distro

@nf use 9front, will save you ton of time :)

I was getting some issues with my thinkpad middle button and drawterm. Turns out it can be fixed in sway config https://makerdon.org/@nocko/104492157322589780
Should be applicable to X11 too with xinput magic.
Thanks to the magnificent grid people for the troubleshoot!
