I'm a sysadmin who works with Linux on the servers and does not have the interest or know-how with window managers. Is there a easy way to try Sway? Like a pre-built OS distribution or VM?
I'm imagining something like Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu - Sway edition..
The desktop side of Linux makes me feel like I'm lost in the city where I live. Am I missing easy instructions to try this somewhere?
(No snark of any kind intended. Based on comments, I think this must be an amazing open source project. I'm just wondering how I can get myself started to see what it really is...)

Sway isn't really an entry-level Linux desktop, though you're welcome to try. RebeccahBlackOS comes with it pre-installed, but it's more of a demo distro than one which is usable in the long-term.
