nwg-shell is a GTK3-based desktop shell for the sway and Hyprland Wayland compositors, delivered as an installer and metapackage. It bundles components such as a system panel, application launcher, dock, menu, display configuration tool, and login manager with a shared graphical configuration UI.
Use cases
- set up a full desktop shell on sway or Hyprland
- configure my Wayland desktop with a graphical settings tool
- get a panel, launcher, and dock for a tiling Wayland compositor
- manage displays and GTK look-and-feel on sway
- install a ready-made sway/Hyprland desktop environment
When to choose
- you use sway or Hyprland on Linux and want a cohesive, preconfigured shell
- you want GUI tools for display, appearance, and shell configuration instead of hand-editing configs
- you want an integrated set of panel, launcher, dock, clipboard, and lock-screen tools
When to avoid
- you use GNOME, KDE, or X11 desktops - it targets wlroots-based Wayland compositors only
- you prefer building a minimal setup from individually chosen components
- you need a shell for compositors outside sway/Hyprland
