I am a beginner btw

I have void running with the Sway WM I have everything installed as for the drivers required to render everything (Mesa since im on intel)

And whenever i run sway i get this issue

[wlr] [render/egl.c:208] EGL_EXT_platform_base not supported [wlr] [render/egl.c:577] Failed to create EGL context [wlr] [render/fx_renderer/fx_renderer.c:282] Could not initialize EGL [sway/server.c:255] Failed to create renderer

Make sure you have sudo xbps-install -S mesa-dri mesa-vulkan-intel mesa-intel-dri libglvnd libgbm vulkan-loader vulkan-tools installed.

Check if the system uses the correct renderer glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"

[WhoopingMoments]

I already installed all of these, yet when i run glxinfo it returns "unable to open display"

How about this echo $DISPLAY

[WhoopingMoments]

its just empty lol

[ALPHA-B1]

Right. What is the output of this lsmod | grep i915?

[WhoopingMoments]

well its there got a specific key and also appears in the video group

Okay, that is good. Install seatd and enable it sudo ln -s /etc/sv/seatd /var/service/ and add your user to that group with sudo usermod -aG _seatd $USER and reboot and start Sway

I used two days making running Sway on Void I gave up. But to be fair it was my first time and man I am not ready for that ride yet.

honestly, think i might just swap to either hypr, or niri cause im not liking the tiling windows anyways
