Comment # 12 on bug 1176195 from Denis Kondratenko

yes, openSUSEway is full DE that does modifications to the system:
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:OpenSUSEway
https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSEway/issues/25

If you want just to try Sway, it is better to just install sway, or
patterns-sway-sway, installing openSUSEway is meaningful during installation as
main DE in the system.

I documented that so far.
