Sway on Wayland ArchLinux 2023 in VirtualBox

Overview of the Sway on ArchLinux Series: I want to install Sway on Wayland in Virtualbox and show you how to configure Sway and Waybar. VirtualBox has some problems with Wayland, so we need to use some workarounds to get this running, but I think it will be a fun thing to do. I also install everything by hand, so you can follow if you want to, at the end of the video I also explain briefly how you can install the base ArchLinux, so if you want to follow then jump to that part of the video first, so that you can setup your VM accordingly. There will be a follow-up video in which we will first solve the presumable driver problems and then configure the system a little bit more. So sty tuned for that. Thank you for watching.
