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