From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Check out any results for i3 wm use, they’re quite interchangeable.
Second advice is to check config examples and change or identify your meta key (I think default is ctrl, but I like alt).
Within the config file you can see many key combos for using Sway, but if you find new terminal, launcher, and workspace navigation (that’s your 1) you should be off to the races.
I think the above would be shift-meta-return, meta-D, and shift-meta-1,2 (to move a window to a workspace) and meta-1,2,3 (to go to a workspace). But I’m just on my phone and my memory gets mixed up because I have more memory from scrotwm/spectrwm and I might be mixing things up.
