+ While X11 (see <xref linkend="sec-x11"/>) is still the primary display
+ technology on NixOS, Wayland support is steadily improving.
+ Where X11 separates the X Server and the window manager, on Wayland those
+ are combined: a Wayland Compositor is like an X11 window manager, but also
+ embeds the Wayland 'Server' functionality. This means it is sufficient to
+ install a Wayland Compositor such as <package>sway</package> without
+ separately enabling a Wayland server:
+<programlisting>
+<xref linkend="opt-programs.sway.enable"/> = true;
+</programlisting>
+ This installs the <package>sway</package> compositor along with some
+ essential utilities. Now you can start <package>sway</package> from the TTY
+ console.
