 In an article on the sway wiki [https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Systemd-integration], a way to integrate Sway with systemd user services is proposed. Starting sway that way has some benefits:
-* Logging for Sway is done the same way it is done for every other user service.
 * Services like Waybar, kanshi, redshift can depend on <code>graphical-session.target</code> and can therefore be started as their own user service, including convenient service management and logging.
-'''Don't forget to additionally start <code>sway-session.target</code>with one of the methods described in the sway wiki.'''
