Package: sway Version: 1.12-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
On non-systemd systems where systemctl is not available, the default sway configuration produces a startup error: sh: 1: systemctl: not found Protecting the invocation of systemctl with a check for its existence fixes the error and allows normal startup. I suggest the patch below, matching the existing coding pattern.
